(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the islanders' civilization was still going strong when Europeans arrived in 1722.

(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island "heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion over the centuries).

(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline that the Easter Island society was already in decline by the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall into disrepair.

(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter Island, the authors determined the timeline of each monument's construction. Their findings indicate that Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least 1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have also served a more utilitarian purpose.

(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722 found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked over.

(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European collapse of monument construction is no longer supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology & Arts.

(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are many documented tragic events due to disease, murder, slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's] cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and deserves recognition."

Brasil passa a Rússia e vira 3º país com mais mulheres presas no mundo

Com o aumento desproporcional, o Brasil bateu a marca das 42 mil presas, ultrapassou a Rússia - 37 mil - e assumiu a terceira posição no ranking dos países com mais mulheres atrás das grades. A lista é encabeçada por EUA - 211 mil - e China - 145 mil.

Os dados são da quinta edição do World Female Imprisonment List, levantamento global sobre mulheres presas realizado pelo ICPR - sigla em inglês para Instituto de Pesquisa em Políticas Criminal e de Justiça de Birkbeck College, Universidade de Londres, no Reino Unido.

Para comparação, considerando homens presos, o Brasil ocupa, desde 2017, a mesma terceira posição no ranking global, também atrás de EUA e China. Desde 2000, essa população aumentou 22% no globo, quase um terço do crescimento entre mulheres.

A taxa de encarceramento feminino no Brasil, que em 2000 era de 6 presas para cada 100 mil mulheres, agora é de 20, o que coloca o país em 15º lugar no ranking proporcional liderado por EUA (64), Tailândia (47), El Salvador (42), Turcomenistão (38), Brunei (36), Macau, na China, (32), Belarus (30), Uruguai (29), Ruanda (28) e Rússia (27).

O documento britânico compila dados prisionais de fontes oficiais e destaca tanto o fornecimento incompleto de dados pelo governo da China quanto a indisponibilidade total de informações de outros cinco países: Cuba, Etiópia, Coreia do Norte, Somália e Uzbequistão.

Os dados consideram tanto presas provisórias, aquelas que ainda não foram julgadas, quanto condenadas. No Brasil, 45% das mulheres encarceradas são presas provisórias.

Para Catherine Heard, diretora do projeto no ICPR, é preocupante o aumento de mulheres presas porque as evidências mostram que a prisão é, particularmente, prejudicial a elas. "Seus impactos adversos continuam por muito mais tempo e podem causar danos irreparáveis, não apenas às mulheres, individualmente, mas também a seus filhos."
