Easter Island Statues, Chile.
Scientific evidence seems to indicate that seafaring Polynesians came to Easter Island (one of the Earth’s most remotely inhabited islands located about 2,000 miles away from the nearest populated area), also known as Rapa Nui, about A.D. 400 and began the civilization that produced those majestic enigmatic statues weighing an average of 14 tons each.
However, nobody knows what the statues are supposed to be or who they are suppose to represent. Perhaps they represent ancestors, powerful kings or priests, God or gods.
