There are nearly a thousand huge stone statues all over Easter Island. They lie on the barren slopes of Shan Ye or on the seashore. Among them, there are dozens of statues standing on artificial platforms by the sea, alone or in groups, facing the sea and looking up at it.
These legless busts have vivid shapes: high nose, deep eye sockets, long ears, upturned mouth and hands on the stomach. Stone statues are generally 5 meters high to 10 meters and weigh dozens of tons. The tallest statue is 22 meters and weighs more than 300,000 kilograms.
Some stone statues have red stone caps on their heads, weighing 10000 kg. These stone statues, called moai by local people, are carved from dark basalt and tuff, and some of them are inlaid with shells into eyes, which are full of sparkle.
