Easter IslandEaster Island, located in the Pacific Ocean about 4000 miles from the coast of Chile, is one of the most isolated places in the world. It is best known for the Moai, monolithic statues of human figures carved from volcanic rock and located a

The reading and the lecture give information about an isolated Island located in the pacific ocean. While the reading suggests that construction is the cause of the decline and eventual collapse of Island's culture. Then lecture refutes all the suggestion presented in the reading material.

First, the reading mentions that people cut forests and trees in order to move Moai and Monolithic statues. As a result, an excessive use of natural resources has lead to collapse of the island culture. In contrast, the reading mentions that the claim is not true. The professor explains that people used a technique that does not involve trees to move the statues. Researchers discovered that people used to use ropes to move the trees from side to side. In addition, they successfully replicate the same technique to move the statues.

Second, In contrast with what belief in the reading material that deforestation occurs as a result of construction, the lecture mentions that first settlers brought rates with them. Since scientists discover palm seeds chewed, they conclude that rats had a devastating effect on palm trees.

Finally, the author suggests that collapse of island culture occur due to a shortage of food. In contrast, the professor states that the suggestion is based on assumption. He explains that carbon dated indicated that island population was twenty thousand people before when the European arrived. It might be the largest population the island had held before the European arrived and culture had never suffered from decline.
