We have studied about the first and isolated civilization, which is Sumer.I will present a civilization that is also isolated and kind of the same with Sumer Civilization, the Rapa Nui and the Moai, which were in between 1000 to 1600 AD. The Rapa Nui people lives in Easter Island, also they are called Easter Islander. Their own language was Rongorongo that is similar with the Cuneiform of Sumer people, a pictographnic language. They created their statues, their spirit, the Moai, by carving the stones form volcanoes on their island.Because of consumption the woods to move the Moai, and the disease, the carving Moai culture collapsed.
