9. THE MOAIS OF PASCUA ISLAND ( Chile)


Lost in the deep silence of the Pacific Ocean, lies the island of Rapa Nui, also known as the Pascua Island.
Around the giant sculptures, many mysteries as no one was able to determine how those Indians are extinct, or were able to transport and build similar statues that can reach 10 meters high, 7.5 meters in diameter and almost 20 tons of weight and age could be traced to IV or V century AD, the themselves indigenous people say they were transported by ships flying.
All the moais that were erected on their ahu looked into the island, except the seven located in Akivi Ahu Beach, which is said to represent the seven explorers who came to Pascua Island after the first settlers.
