The Moai statues of Rapa Nui or more comonly known as Easter Island. Over 800 are located on the island 200+ which once stood, the others are toppled or still rest in quarries. Easter Island is considered to be the world’s most remote inhabited island. Question is how did these get here. Being 2200 miles from land how or who helped build and erect these statues. It's been estimated it would take 100 - 150 people to stand one depending on the size. Some people speculate UFO's
