One of the most mysterious
places on earth, Easter Island and its famous Moai have
been the subject of centuries of debate and numerous theories
ranging from the practical to the extreme (Extra-terrestrial
influence).
Formed
millions of years ago by huge eruptions of undersea volcanoes,
the island sits in the middle of the pacific ocean 2000km
from the nearest land, due to its isolation the island was
inhabited only by seabirds and dragon flies until around
1300 years ago when some weary seafarers landed on its shores,
the Rapa Nui civilization flourished on the then lush forested
island and began to engage in the carving of the Moai until
the islands natural resources became diminished changing
the environment irreversibly to the baron and eerie land
that it is now.
