“Dum Dum, Gum Gum”

Remember the talking “Num Num” head in the movie, “Night at the Museum”? Well, that thing is real… not the talking part, but the head is! In fact on Easter Island, the Rapa Nui people produced more than 900 of those humanoid statues between the years 1250 and 1500. All of the statues were built in one place and then placed all over the island. What many people don’t know, is that the statues are actually full-bodied – they are just buried beneath the earth. The Moai, as the locals call them, represent and honor deceased ancestors.
