    Easter Island is a small, remote island in the Pacific Ocean known for its hundreds of massive stone statues located throughout the island. The island was settled around 1600 years ago by indigenous people who developed an advanced culture with their own written language. However, as the population grew to around 10,000 people, resources became scarce and war broke out, resulting in the destruction of many statues. When European explorers discovered the island on Easter in 1722, the statues were the sole remnants of the once-great civilization that had inhabited the land.
