Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has a large number of large carved stone figures (moai) that are hundreds of years old. In many cases only the oversized heads are above ground. They were apparently carved to honor tribal family leaders.

Easter Island is in the South Pacific about 2500 miles west of Chile, which claims the island.
