Off the coast of this South American country, you’ll find a remote Polynesian island where the Rapa Nui people built a bustling society – stone Moai statues and all. The carved rocks resembling heads and torsos have been baffling people for thousands of years, with little to no oral or written history explaining their origin. Most scholars suspect that the statues were built to honor ancestors or chiefs but the reason behind the 400 or so statues will never be certain.
