A fully unearthed Moai statue on Easter Island.

Easter Island statues are iconic monolithic human figures carved by Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in eastern Polynesia between 1250-1500 AD. They are believed to represent ancestors and were placed on ceremonial platforms called Ahu. Construction and transportation of these massive statues, some weighing up to 80 tons, remain a subject of fascination and study due to island's remote location and engineering feats involved.
