Sometime at the turn of the first millennium AD, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui from eastern Polynesia landed on the windy shores of Easter Island and began to explore them. At that time, of course, Easter Island was not yet called - this "European" name was given to it by the Dutchman Jacob Roggeveen, who landed here in 1722. What he found here was certainly a big surprise: countless huge heads carved from black storage boulders. In fact, there are more than 880 so-called moai heads, each of which is to represent the last member of one of the tribal family clans.
