主标题：复活节岛，1979 巨石雕像竖立在耶稣复活节岛的石斜坡面，最早的探险家认为石雕像是本土玻利维亚人们崇拜神灵而作，但是库克船长和其他人，在1774年推测是为了尊敬他们的祖先。这一景观持续到今天。






英文注释：
Stony Slopes, Easter Island, 1979

Giant stone moai stand on Easter Island's stony slopes. Earlier explorers believed the stone statues were worshipped as gods by native Polynesians, but Captain James Cook and his men speculated in 1774 that they were constructed to honor ancestors, a view still held by many today.
