In the Pacific Ocean, over 4000 kilometres from the coast of Chile, the closest mainland, is a tiny
island named Easter Island that amazed the first seafarers to land there in the 18tr century. What
surprised them were the hundreds of colossal statues scattered all over the island. They were the
remains of massive sculptures that had been cut from the volcanic mountains. No one has ever been
able to explain why these statues were built. They are between ten and twenty metres high and weigh
up to fifty tonnes. Even now, scientists are unable to explain how such huge monuments were
constructed and moved about on such a remote island.
