Moai – Easter Island
Moai are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui humans on Easter Island in japanese Polynesia between the years 1250 and 1500 Nearly 1/2 are still at Rano Raraku, the main moai quarry, but masses were transported from there and set on stone structures referred to as ahu around the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly huge heads 3-eighths the size of the whole statue. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna). The statues still gazed inland throughout their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island in 1722, however they all had fallen by way of the latter a part of the nineteenth century.

Five building types only in Indian Architecture
Architecture and civilization have evolved inter-dependently due to the involvement with each other on fundamental grounds. The Indian sub-continent is home to one of the oldest civilizations recorded in history, and hence it is home to the most ancient architectural concepts and techniques. Having a rich cultural heritage, Indian Architecture developed a complex set of building typology specific to the needs of the people- places to carry out certain rituals and practices. Many of these building types have been discontinued, the rest have not been constructed anywhere outside the context of Indian Architecture. Indian Architecture is more than just temples: it encompasses all that originated in India: monasteries, step wells, temples (of course), courtyard housing and many other things. There are some building types developed quite recently as well, yet not reproduced anywhere else in the world!
