Easter Islanders watch as climate change menaces their cultural heritage. But some say they’ll persevere, just as their ancestors survived ancient disasters. http://nyti.ms/2FLuQWN pic.twitter.com/0STp5xHoXH

Not only would you lose their context, but (more importantly) the Rapa Nui wouldn’t forgive you for taking their heritage away from their land just like they haven’t forgiven/forgotten those who took their last moai to put it in a museum

People, there are sealants for sandstone that can preserve statues from fast erosion without affecting historical features

Uprooting the statues for saving them from climate change will render them meaningless as their association with their native land will be broken. They are storytellers of the island's past.

If doing such a thing is bad, the British museum should be closed for good.

Cultural gems? Somewhat crude carvings. Never get all the fuss over Stonehenge either. Why the hell people pay money to walk in a circle around it when you can see it from A303 is the biggest wonder!
