The Moai Statues are iconic stone figures found on Easter Island, located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile. These massive statues, made from volcanic rock, were carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1400 and 1650 AD. There are around 900 Moai statues scattered across the island, with many positioned on stone platforms called Ahu. The statues represent ancestors and were believed to hold spiritual power. Today, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major attraction for visitors, offering a glimpse into the island's mysterious past.
