In Honor of Easter...Let's Go to Easter Island...




The Moai Statues

Easter Island is best known for its enormous stone statues called Moai. Experts believe these statues date back anywhere from 400 to 1700 AD. The statues are often thought to only show enormous heads, but they are actually of entire torsos. However, many of the statues have sunk into the earth, with only their heads showing. A total of 887 of these statues, thought to be symbols of the island's ancestors, have been found on the island.
