The Moai Statues are large stone figures located on Easter Island, known as Rapa Nui. These statues were created by the island's early inhabitants between 1400 and 1650 CE. They are made from volcanic tuff and can weigh up to 75 tons, with some standing over 30 feet tall. The Moai are believed to represent ancestral figures and were placed on stone platforms called ahu. The construction and transportation of the Moai remain a subject of research and fascination. The statues were carved using simple tools, and their placement was often aligned with important locations on the island. Today, the Moai are a symbol of Easter Island's cultural heritage and attract many visitors.
