Easter Island is without a doubt one of the most famous and well-known tourist destinations in the world. It has been continuously occupied since 1619 when Dutch Menorca island was left desolate. Since then, it has become a very popular tourist destination. Easter Island rocks and sculptures can be found everywhere. Easter Island is also known as the “Pearl of the Pacific” because of its unique architecture and unique geographical location, making this Island a favorite among tourists and historians.
There is no question that Easter Island has a very remarkable landscape. The moai statues are placed at strategic locations such as the Easter Island Hanga Roa, the Moai statue at the Island’s southernmost tip, the Mano Ha at the Island’s western tip.
These four statues have been key elements of Easter Island’s mystery and meaning. Because of their placement, they form important focal points for studying the cultural relationships that Easter Island has with its indigenous inhabitants. The four moai statues collectively represent the female ancestors and founders of the Polynesian civilization. They stand at the location where the Island’s most sacred Geoglyphs were located.
In addition to these important locations, Easter Island has other interesting archaeological features. One of these features is the Easter Island rock art, which is the most well-known symbol of Easter Island. Rock art, which represents the facial features of men and women, is also referred to as mukau. Another significant archaeological discovery from Easter Island was the stone carving of birds called moai statues. The birds’ necks and wings were sewing together, forming a symbolic body of water called the Ruka.
Easter Island is also famous for its wildlife. Humpback whales, porpoises, and hundreds of large animals call the island home. Many of these animals are at the large rocks near the shore, feed on the vegetation, and take shelter from other predators.
Although Easter Island is best known for its Easter Island Rocks & Statues, it also contains another hidden treasure: dormant volcanoes. Volcanoes are known for their vast mineral resources, such as iron, sulfur, and salt. These resources make them a top candidate for building artificial cities, and many Easter Island homes were constructed from the same stones as the extinct Mayan civilization. The pagan, or a man-made island, rises from the earth to contain these massive material deposits. While these deposits are huge, many are easily accessible and can be quarried for construction purposes.
