These giant stone pieces are 13 feet tall and weigh 14 tons per piece. European explorers discovered these statues when they landed on this island in 1722. No one exactly knows who built these and why, what is the purpose of sculpting these but many theories speculated that they were placed as the markers of the fresh water.
