Located over 2700 miles off the coast of Chile, the isolated Easter Island
boasts the world's largest collection of megaliths. These giant statues range
in height from 10 - 33 feet and were constructed over 18 centuries ago. All
of the statues face westward and their significance is still a subject of
debate. Some say they represent lost kings, and that one was constructed for
every king. Others say they are to scare away invaders. The real mystery is
how they were transported to where they now stand. Weighing as much as 27
metric tons (50,000lbs), the mystery is as great as the construction of the
pyramids.
