Another cache in our "near a waterfall" imaginary series. Small, well cammoed container with some goodies and TB for the FTF to move along.
Guarded by one of the tiki statues brought to South Florida that reminds me of my trips to Hawaii. Carving is one of man oldest known art form, a 25,000 year old stone statue has been found (The pop polynesian like Venus of Willendorf), only cave paintings are older and they were usually done in relief. Wood carving certainly predates the Venus, however wood items tend to degrade and we would be extremely lucky to find an early example. I would even venture a guess that if we did find one it would resemble tikis. Across the world examples carved idols blossomed. From the pagans of Europe to the totems of the American Northwest, tiki's styles flourished and their idols were worshipped by tribal men. For thousands of years these images of gods were revered. However the most enduring style of ancient figure carving is perhaps that of the Polynesians. The giant heads of Easter Island, Mauri pendants and the ancient Hawaiian poles that marked sacred areas all sprouted from a common seed. Using Stone Age technology and all of the ingenuity of modern man, Polynesians created a lasting style. See the link associated with this cache to get more info on Tiki statues. Congrats to FTF Radioman84!
