The secrets of Easter Island.
Unveiled
Mysterious stone
heads called moaie
Some standing more than nine meters (30 feet)
tall
There is a remote volcanic island in the South Pacific where
hundreds of mysterious stone heads called moai, some standing more
than nine meters (30 feet) tall, dot
the landscape.
Some of the heads are more than 1,000 years old.
Anthropologists, historians and keepers of the island’s Indigenous
oral traditions have long debated why and how the heads were built
and why their construction stopped. And the heads aren’t Easter
Island’s only mystery.
