Of course everyone thinks of Easter Island as that island with all the heads. However, there’s a lot more to this mysterious Pacific island. Actually, archaeologists may have recently discovered something very odd about the already strange island. Read on to hear if they’ve cracked the code!
Heads First
There’s a name for those large stone heads…they’re called Moai. For hundreds of years, humans struggled to understand these ancient Moai. Where did they come from? Who constructed these massive stones? The whole thing baffled even archaeologists. Perhaps the most confusing factor is the strange location of this island.
Heads First
Just Coincidence?
Ever wondering what connects all these heads together? Turns out, all the Moai are monoliths. If you’re wondering, a monolith is something made from one large stone. Despite all having this in common, not every one is identical to each other. Most are truly unique. With the tallest measuring at 33 feet and weighing in at 82 tons, there’s a lot to uncover! Since 1250 C.E. these massive Moai have resided on the Chilean Polynesian island.
