Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited places in the world, yet it developed a remarkable culture. The Moai statues were often transported miles without modern machinery, sparking debates about their methods. Some Moai have full bodies buried underground, not just heads as commonly believed. The island’s traditional script, Rongo-Rongo, is one of the few written languages created independently in human history. Easter Island’s population once reached around 15,000 before collapsing dramatically. Today, the island is a living museum, where culture and archaeology meet in a unique way. It stands as a reminder of human ingenuity and resilience.
