Easter Island is one of the mysterious and isolated places on Earth. There has been outlandish claims of UFO's,Atlantis, and long gone advanced society have inhabited the island. Well anyway the island itself is a tiny island in the South Pacific that is made up of volcanic eruptions. The first inhabitants of the island found and an island full of palm trees for houses. They also found that the volcanic soil was perfect for the plants they planted. The islands population was about 9000 by AD 1500. Nobody knows why the giant eyeless statues were built. Each statue or Maoi is on average 9.9 meters tall and weighing nearly 10 tons.


I think that easter island is one of the coolest places on earth. If I had to go there I would do it in a heartbeat just to see the wierdness of these statues.
