Few places make an impression like Easter Island. Located in the Pacific Ocean, this Chilean territory features pink sand beaches and rolling plains – oh, and all those giant statues.
There are almost 900 of these statues, called moai, dotted across the island. They're believed to have been crafted between 1100 and 1500 CE by the Rapa Nui people. And while you make think of them as merely giant heads, archaeologists discovered that they have bodies buried beneath the soil, too.
