▶ Your Answer :
Both the lecturer and the reading passage
discuss the Moai, a
monolithic stone statues in the shape of
human figures on Easter Island. The lecturer casts doubt on the author's
assertion on plausible theories to explain the construction of the Moai, by presenting three counter-arguments.
First, the lecturer asserts that it is unlikely
that the Moai is were
built to celebrate the victory of an annual competition between rival chiefs.
This is because more statues were found than
just one statue per year. To be specific, if annual competition occurred during the 500 years of its existance existence, only 500
pieces of statue should have been be excavated
and not 900 statues. This counters the author's claim that the Moai is were
constructed to celebrate the winners of an annual competition between the
chiefs.
Second, the lecturer claims that the explanation
that the Moai was were used for communication between humans and the gods, is
unconvincing. This is because the Moai was
were not only looking into towards the sky, facing the gods in the heaven,
but many were looking down and forwards. Moreover, there were no remains
of religious ceremonies or rituals at the Easter Island. This refutes
the author's claim that the Moai, often looking
into the sky, is were made to interact
with gods in the heaven.
Lastly, the lecturer maintains that it is controversial that the Moai is were
built to venerate the ancestors of the island's residents who came from the
west. He says that many statues are facing at
different directions and even the exact opposite direction from where their
ancestors came from. This refutes the author's assertion that the statues face
directly west to honor the ancestors who came to the island.
