(7/8)Easter Island, Chile.
For centuries, scientists as well as researchers are puzzled what was the purpose of these giant stone busts built centuries ago. The locals believed that these statues carved out of volcanic rocks, represent the spirit of their ancestors guarding a priceless patrimony.
As per UNESCO, there are 887 gigantic, elongated stone figures that stares at the distant horizon over the coastal area of the island. The largest moai statue found on Easter Island dubbed as El Gigante, but was never completed, weighs more than two full 737 airplanes. And because of their enormous weights, it has been the subject of scholarly debates on how the ancient people were able to move those statues without even the aid of equipment such as cranes, etc.
