The huge stone statues of Easter Island have left a lasting impression in my mind.
Easter Island - Mystery Island. Suddenly, a tiny piece of land emerges from an enormous ocean after having seen blue in many different ways. This is Easter Island, according to many the most isolated place on earth. This is also one of the few places which still has many mysteries unresolved. How was it possible that it was discovered around the 3 century without the modern means of navigation? How was it possible to survive for such a long time without any contact with the outside world? But above all, how was it possible to make gigantic statues in one volcanic crater on the island, transport them around the island and erect them on special platforms in remembrance of the forefathers? What's more, they even managed to put "hats", which were produced from another crater, on top of the statues which reached up to 10 metres high.
