Easter Island, located in the Pacific Ocean, is a place of mystery and wonder, and in this video, we'll dive into the history of the island's famous stone heads. 
Known as Moai, these monolithic statues were built by the Rapa Nui people between 1250 and 1500 and have been the subject of fascination for centuries.
