Easter Island is an isolated
volcanic island, which is located in the heart of the South Pacific (halfway
between Tahiti and South America). It is believed that the first inhabitants of
Rapa Nui or Easter Island were the Polynesians (who settled the island in about
700 AD). Their belief systems led to the carving of unique stone statues called
Moai.
In 1722, the island was
first discovered by the outside world on a beautiful Easter Sunday (for which,
the Rapa Nui Island is known as Easter Island).
