Easter Island

There is no evidence to suggest that a crater hit Easter Island. The island's unique moai statues may have been moved and erected by the Rapa Nui people rather than being the result of a crater impact.

The statues, known as moai, on Easter Island were primarily carved from volcanic tuff using stone tools. Craftsmen shaped the statues directly at the quarry, with many remaining unfinished in situ. Once completed, the moai were transported to various sites around the island, likely using a combination of sledges, rolling logs, and a coordinated team effort. The statues were then erected on stone platforms called ahu, often facing inland to overlook the communities.

Easter Island derived its name from Dutch explorers who first visited the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. From the 2002 census some 39 percent of the population of 3,971 are of European or Chilean descent. Based on that and the probability that some of these people are Christian, Easter is observed on Easter Island.

Yes, Mataveri International Airport or Isla de Pascua Airport (IATA code IPC). It's operated by the Chilean Air Force, but is open to commercial flights (LAN Airlines, a Chilean airline, and LAN Peru) as well.

The runway is just over two miles long -- long enough to handle wide-body aircraft. At one time it was designated a possible emergency landing site for the US Space Shuttle.

Well, whatever you are smoking that day and hour depends. If you see purple bunny's and cotton candy fields then you run after it and eat the cotton candy. Hope this helps<3

Population at the 2002 census was 3,791 (3,304 in Hanga Roa alone). 60% were Rapanui, Chileans of European or castizo descent were 39% of the population, and the remaining 1% were Native Americans from mainland Chile. Castizos may include people of European and Rapanui or European, Native American, and Rapanui descent. Rapanui have also migrated out of the island. At the 2002 census, 2,269 Rapanui lived on Easter Island, while 2,378 lived in the mainland of Chile (half of them in the metropolitan area of Santiago). Population density on Easter Island is only 23 inhabitants per km² (60 per sq mi), much lower than in the 17th century heyday of the moai building when there were possibly as many as 15,000 inhabitants, or roughly 92 inhabitants per km² (214 per sq mi).

yes about 3,000 i think

Easter Island is in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, also known as the South Pacific Ocean.

The population rose so high that they ran out of natural resources and good land to farm on. They were forced into cannibals and consumed the weak and elderly. There was a short war and most of the people left had gone insane from ergot poisoning.

The reason there are no bodies today is that the rats ate the remaining bodies. Even the teeth had eroded away as the island was pelted with salty winds. Eroding the topsoil into the ocean. Nothing had time to fossilize or bury cause of the fierce wet ocean winds.

The statues were built in the beginning in hopes of being rescued or saved from a passing ship.

The people of Easter Island were most likely expelled from their native land for some reason.

i don't think there is any citys in Easter island but isn't Easter island cool i also love the actress Kristen Stewart

yes about 3,000 i think

2000 miles

Jakarta is located in the islands of java. Indonesia's capital is Jakarta and the group of islands form the java.

Easter Islands (Rapa Nui) is actually in Polynesia

Easter Island is entirely surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. Easter Island is over 1,200 miles from the nearest inhabited land.

Chile.

New Zealand Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand and Cook islands Maori are the indigenous people of the Cook Islands

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.

The moai of Rapanui are fascinating statues, most of which would be difficult if not impossible to move from their quarry with today's construction equipment. Their true history remains disputed today because their is no written and very little oral history about them (many islanders were taken into slavery). Also there is an ancient language that was on several tablets they found on this island. It has yet to been translated because no person now a days knows what this means and there are no ancestors that can translate so that is one of the most intriuging parts about it.

The statues are from Easter Island. They are called Moai and are carved from a rock made of compressed volanic ash known as Tuff. They were carved in the quarries of Rano Raraku along the coast and transported to various areas across the Island.

Moai apex

Jacob Roggeveen but I don't think he was an archaeologist.

it represents freedom to the world
