Easter Island is one of the world's most isolated inhabited islands. The name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday 1722. Another name, Mata-ki-Te-rangi, means "Eyes looking to the sky".
The biggest mystery on Easter Island are the hundreds of giant statutes (Moai), which stand on Easter Island. Who built these statues and why? Some suggest extraterrestrials had a hand (or 3 fingered claw) in building it.
