Easter Island Statues
Only Few Centuries
Old, Says Researcher

The circle of stone giants with
scowling faces and empty eyes which
guard the little volcanic island
known as Easter Island in the South
Pacific are the product of the pres
ent civilization, which is only five
or six centuries old, according to-
DR.. Alfred Metraux. Smithsonian
Institution anthropoligist and a
foremost authority on the island.
His conclusions, based on intensive
studies, differ from those of many
scholars who think the statues were
constructed by people Of lost civili-
zation some 10000 years ago. DR..
Metraux's conclusions are in the in
stitution's annual report, just is
sued.
Discovered in 18th Century.
When the island was discovered by
Europeans in the 17th century, it,
seemed impossible that the appar-
emily somewhat degenerate Polyne-
sian inhabitants could be the same
people who had carved those great
statutes, some towering 80 feet high,
DR.. Metraux points out.
This gave rise to the belief that
the island was the wreckage of a
sunken continent and the remains of
an ancient civilization.
DR.. MetrauX, however, says it is a.
typical volcanic island of recent
origin. He also says the carving on
the statues has retained its sharp
outlines and visible hammer marks,
which could not be the case If the
work had been done thousands of
years ago. The material of the
statues is a relatively soft stone.
Theory of Tablet.
There is also the mystery of the
"hieroglyphic" tablets, odd shaped
pieces OF wood covered with designs
on both sides, the meaning of which
has never been explained.
DR.. Metraux came to the conclu-
sion that the tablets were the Orator
staffs" OF early professional chanters,
who existed on a number of Polyne-
sian islands. Originally, the designs
on the stats, or the tablets in the
case of Easter Island, might have
had some meaning, but later they
lost their exact significance and be-
came simply ornaments or magic
symbols.
This Interpretation may not con-
tain the whole truth about the tab
lets, DR.. Metraux says, but he thinks
the hypothesis best fits facts avail
able today.
