The Mystery of Easter Island: the Story of an Expedition


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

To this day, Easter Island, with its magnificent stone structures, remains an enigma. Katherine Routledge was part of an exhaustive archaeological expedition to try and find answers. While the study was enlightening, it did not answer all the questions the party had. Some critics suggested it was unsuccessful for not solving the riddle. Others said it was disappointing as it removed all mystery from the island. The truth was somewhere in the middle. - Summary by LynneT (16 hr 36 min)
