The statues of Easter Island, known as moai, are monumental sculptures created by the Rapa Nui people between the 13th and 16th centuries. These stone figures, with their oversized heads and solemn expressions, are carved from volcanic tuff and stand on stone platforms called ahu. Scattered across this remote Pacific island, the moai are a testament to the islanders' sophisticated craftsmanship and complex society. Their purpose remains a subject of scholarly debate, with theories suggesting they were built to honor ancestors or serve as symbols of authority and power.
