The mysteries of Easter Island have intrigued many people over the years, and there aren't a lot of solid answers to the questions, starting with the date a small group of Polynesians discovered the island, made it their home and named it Rapa Nui. Some say it was around the year 800, others say it was closer to 1200. Why their civilization collapsed is also much debated. Some believe it was due to dwindling resources caused by deforestation and starvation brought on by human consumption of the island's resources. Others believe it was due to rats that had hitched a ride with the Polynesians and then consumed the lush palm trees by eating the seeds, preventing new vegetation from growing.

Regardless of why civilization collapsed, the inhabitants left behind close to 900 statues created to honor their ancestors. The statues—known as the Moai—were carved out of giant blocks of stone, each averaging 13 feet tall and weighing 14 tons.
