Isla de Pascua

is a beautiful place….
wonderful landscapes…
the most lovely people on the earth….
the name of this statues is Moai…

The most widely-accepted theory is that the statues were carved by the Polynesian colonizers of the island beginning by about A.D. 1000–1100. In addition to representing deceased ancestors, the moai, once they were erect on ceremonial sites, may also have been regarded as the embodiment of powerful living chiefs.
