[post_page_title]What do the statues represent?[/post_page_title]
What led the ancient people of Easter Island to build these giant statues? The statues are known as Maoi, and some believe they are the physical manifestations of spirits, while others believe they represent family ancestors. Other groups think the statues have been built as a show of authority and power, lauding over visitors to the island how well-established and commanding the original people were on the island. It is thought they are a show of power, much like the ancient Egyptians would construct the pyramids.
