AMAZING ISLAND

Easter Island, often known as Rapa Nui, is remotely located two,000 miles off the coast of Tahiti. The original settlers of the island were Polynesians who migrated to the far-off land between 400 and 600 BC. They built lots of shrines and statues, called moai, from stones quarried throughout the island including a volcano site. Researchers still query exactly how the large stones were moved.
