Eastrr Island Easter island is the south pacific, 3.700 km from the coast of chile. On the island, there are 600 large statues. We don't know who built them but they were probably constructed between 1150 and 1500. We don't really know why they are there. The Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, belived that they were built by people from South America. To prove this, he made a simple raft and sailed there, all the way from Peru. Archaeologist think that the statues represent dead tribal leaders. We don't know why the statues left alone on the island. Perhaps they were killed by disease or war. Perhaps the builders used all the natural resources on the island. There are many unanswered questions about Ester Island.
