It is a very mysterious isle because of statues (Moai). Especially the war between "Long ears" against "Short ears". "Long ears" dominated "Short ears" and they forced them to made the Moai. At the end "Short ears" rebelled becasuse they refused to throw the Moai into the sea. "Long ears" were defeated and "Short ears" became the dominators of the isle.
Another legend says that the Moai move across the isle thank of the "mana" of the chief Tuu-ko-ihu.
However the colours of the sky and of the sea are beatiful. Antonio - Italy
