Great Archeological Mysteries Of Easter Island Claimed Solved By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent ' Over The North Pole U.Ri Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer, said today he had solved the two great archeologi cal mysteries of Easter Island In a scientific adventure he de scribed as even more fascinating than his famous Kon-Tiki expe dition. The handsome 43 - year - old scientist had a strange story to tell and he told it in a strange place 10,000 feet over the North Pole in what must have been the first interview ever given over the top of the world Below us as we spoke in the first regularly scheduled airlin er to cross the pole on the new Scandinavian Airlines short-cut route between Europe and Tokyo We could see vast wastes of snow In the twilight glow of tne Arc tic night. SO Ton Figures But it was of the warm Paci fic that Heyerdahl was speaking, lie said he was completing a book and editing a color film of his year-long stay on astr Island," the loneliest inhabited spot on earth. It is a Chilean possession 2,000 miles west of the north coast of Cliile, the nearest land. There is one regu lar ship a year, and the Poly nesian natives squeeze out a liv ing from poultry and farming. The ijeV.ind was discovered in 1722 by a utch admiral looking for an. entirely different island and even then the first white men were bored and puzzled by the great petroglyphs or stone figures tumbled about the place. Some of these weighed 50 tons and had obviously been dragged long distances but how this was done by the natives and their primitive equipment and what the monuments were in tended to mean in the first place remained a puzzle over the cen turies. Relives Past' "I decided to put the native superstition about me to prac tical use. They had a head man they called the 'alcalde' or 'may or,' Heyerdahl said. One day I gathered a group of natives, ap pointed the alcalde to lead them and arbitrarily told them to take stone axes and carve and raise stone stautes just like their ancestors. "The most astonishing fact was that the alcalde and the na tives raised a 20-ton statue using only two logs and small stones They rolled the big stone along on the logs, then they raised it by literally building a wall un der it with the small stones. They would shift it a few in ches and slip in a stone and so on until it was six feet off the ground and then they slid it into a standing position. "That showed us all we need ed to know about how the an cient natives had solved the tech nical problem of the big statues." But what did the carvings mean? Heyerdahl said he was taken to secret burial caves and shown still more unique carvings. This lead to the revelation of the simple but tenaciously held secret of what the great statues meant. They are ancestral fig ures representing early chiefs. After death their spirits lived on in stone. EAST EVANS CREEK-MEADOWS Earl Day Pasture Dusted By MRS. NELLIE BERGMAN East Evans Creek-Meadows Residents of the Meadows area got to see a free air show last Tuesday.
