Curiosities about Easter Island
The true name of the island in the local language is Rapa Nui, and it was named Easter Island by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who arrived on Easter Sunday in 1722.
The moai do not look out to the ocean, but face inland toward the island to protect and project their 'mana' (spiritual power) over the villages.
