Moai are monolithic human figures carved from rock on the Polynesian island of Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500. Representing deceased ancestors, the Moai may also have been regarded as the embodiment of powerful living or former chiefs and important lineage status symbols. The most widely-accepted theory is that the statues were carved by the Polynesian colonizers of the island beginning by about A.D. 1000-1100.
