Criteria:
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/715
Criterion (i): Rapa Nui National Park contains one of the most remarkable
cultural phenomena in the world. An artistic and architectural tradition of
great power and imagination was developed by a society that was completely
isolated from external cultural influences of any kind for over a millennium.
Criterion (iii): Rapa Nui, the indigenous name of Easter
Island, bears witness to a unique cultural phenomenon. A society of Polynesian
origin that settled there c. A.D. 300 established a powerful, imaginative and
original tradition of monumental sculpture and architecture, free from any
external influence. From the 10th to the 16th century this society built shrines and erected enormous
stone figures known as moai, which created
an unrivalled landscape that continues to fascinate people throughout the
world.
Criterion (v): Rapa Nui National Park is a testimony to the undeniably unique character of a culture that suffered a debacle as a result of an ecological crisis followed by the irruption from the outside world. The substantial remains of this culture blend with their natural surroundings to create an unparalleled cultural landscape.
