Christian Walter’s expertise in anthropology, archaeology, art and history has enabled him to traverse the globe extensively. An Easter Island resident, Christian has researched Easter Island’s petroglyphs, comparing them with the island’s ancient writing system, Rongorongo, and has, since 1976, worked to improve the use of the Rapa Nui National Park.

He serves as consultant to Easter Island’s mayor and is vice president of the Easter Island Development Corporation, whose goal is to restore archaeological sites and artefacts while improving the island’s infrastructure and concepts of tourism.

A Swiss native, Christian was raised in Germany where he studied at the Instituto Alemán. He continued his studies in Chile at the Universidad Austral. Christian is also an internationally published author and a member of the European Society for Oceanists.
