Although the subtropical forest had grown thick from the first in this island,
those woods were destroyed in order to obtain the wood and the rope for MOAI
construction. As a result, land became thin and it lapsed into the food
shortage. Inhabitants fought over food, MOAI was pushed down and ゛ eye" which
was a soul of MOAI was also destroyed. Since there was no tree, it was in the
miserable situation where a ship cannot be made, either but neither a fishing
nor movement can be performed. |
