Situated at about 3,700 kilometers off the west coast of Chile, Easter Island is the most isolated inhabitation in the entire world. This island is also one of the most bewildering places on Earth, which preserves a history that remains as ill-defined as it is evocative. Chile & Easter Island is having a very small land area of about 117 square kilometers and an amazing isolation make its findings and settlement an event which appears as unlikely as it was mystical. The original settlers appeared to have been the Polynesian, even if there is a good amount of evidence that they were also coupled by South American people much earlier in the history of Chile & Easter Island. The native name of the island, Rapa Nui, is Polynesian. Being abandoned for about centuries from other parts of the world, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui produced their own typical culture, a culture possibly the best known by the moai, gigantic figures cut out of volcanic rock. About hundred or more of these sculpted monoliths dot the landscape, while some in enforcing rows and others broken, toppled and scarred by violence. Scholars are fruitful is reconstructing some of the bad patches of history which lies behind the disintegration of the culture of Rapa Nui, but a number of puzzles like why and how the moai were built still remains uncertain.
