Easter Island : is one of the loneliest and most isolated islands on Earth. It is located approximately 2000 miles from South America in one direction; and approximately 2000 miles from a few pacific islands in another.
Easter Island is famed for its remarkable stone statues, with one or more of them scattered every few hundred yards, around the grassy slopes of the island.
The massive stone statues are thought to represent stone guardian gods, but exactly where they came from does remain a mystery. It is thought that the Easter Islanders made the stones by copying the faces of their ancestors as the result of some form of ancestor worship.
