Moai (another translation): Moai, Moai and Maui are a group of giant portraits located on Easter Island, which are all over the island and are one of Chile's tourist attractions and world heritage sites. Some Moai statues will be placed on a stone platform called Ahu.

These moai have only upper body, long ears, sunken eyes, high nose, angular chin and heavy expression, and some stone statues have been fitted with "coral eyes". Many moai are completely similar in appearance. There is only one stone statue named "Tuku Tuli", and the lower half is kneeling on the ground. He also has a beard and short ears. These two kinds of stone statues may be related to the legendary "Hanaoepe" and "short-eared man" on the island.

Introduction of scenic spots:

The most mysterious thing on Easter Island is the Moai stone statue on the island. More than 1000 giant busts were found in the whole island, of which 600 were neatly arranged on the stone island by the sea. Stone statues vary in size, 6-23 meters high and weighing about 30-90 tons. They have strange images and serious expressions, and their backs to the sea seem to be thoughtful.

Most of these huge stone statues are by the sea. Some of them stood in the grass, some fell to the ground, and some stood on the altar. Stone statues are generally 7- 10 meters high and weigh about 90 tons. They have long heads, deep eye sockets, high noses, prominent chins and long ears. They have no feet, their arms hang down at their sides and their hands are on their stomachs. These stone statues are carved from yellowish volcanic rocks.

Some people still wear hats. These hats are carved from red rocks, which are several meters high and shaped like a cylinder. Some stone statues are also engraved with symbols, which are a bit like tattoos. In addition, stone statues twice as big as these giant statues have been found, but most of them are semi-finished products.

During the excavation of 20 1 1, two bodies were found buried in the soil, only Moai with his head exposed. It was found that the two Moai were not only very tall, but also had fine carvings on their backs.

According to the investigation, it was confirmed that it was carved in 1 100- 1680. These huge stone statues are amazing. What do these statues represent? Who carved it? How was it carved? How are they carved, transported and arranged? There are different views on these issues.
