There is a recognized mysterious island in the world. He drifted in the vast and boundless South Pacific, isolated from the world for thousands of years. The residents of the island have no way to escape, and they are surrounded by the vast sea, and they are lonely except for the waves. When it comes to him, even experts have a headache, because so many mysteries are difficult to solve. He is the only island in the world named after a festival. Do you know where it is?

The island is called Easter Island and belongs to the South American country of Chile. But he was far away from Chile, drifting alone in the South Pacific. It is 3,600 kilometers from the mainland of Chile, 6,000 kilometers from Antarctica in the south, 5,500 kilometers from North America in the north, and more than 9,000 kilometers from Australia in the west. Said he was remote and lonely, I believe no one would question.

It is because of such a special location that very few tourists visit Easter Island. And this island shrouded in mystery is always desirable, trying to solve the unsolved mysteries on the island. How mysterious is Easter Island?

Easter Island is a volcanic island with a triangular shape and a total area of ​​about 118 square kilometers. Because it looks like a navel from the air, Easter Island is called "the navel of the earth". The topography of the island consists of small hills, grasslands, and volcanoes. The land is very barren and not suitable for agricultural cultivation. The inhabitants of the island are mainly Polynesia, with a population of 5,761.

The entire island was discovered by British navigators in 1686, more than 300 years ago. Later, in 1772, Dutch navigators landed on the island, which happened to be Easter in the west, so the island was also called "Easter Island". The island's biggest puzzle comes from the 887 giant stone statues on the southern coast.

Europeans who set foot on this land hundreds of years ago were shocked when they saw these giant stone statues. These statues range in height from 3 meters to 21 meters, and the heaviest reaches 297 tons. Each stone statue has only the upper body, with hands on the stomach, with a resolute expression, facing the sea, as if waiting or guarding something, which is sacred and inviolable.

According to expert research, the materials used in these stone statues come from craters more than ten kilometers away, and these statues have existed thousands of years ago. So, how are these huge stone statues transported to the sea more than ten kilometers away and placed neatly?

In addition, Easter Island is also the only island where ancient Polynesian writings have been discovered. Many esoteric writings have not yet been deciphered, and it is impossible to know what is behind these writings.

Over the years, experts from all over the world have not stopped researching Easter Island. There is still no conclusion about the mystery about Easter Island that exists in people's minds. Today, Easter Island has been listed as a "World Heritage Site" by the United Nations. This island attracts tourists from all over the world to come and find out.
