+ Easter Island Huge stone carved figured called Moai Carved from island rock. The Moai are seen all over the island, and in different shapes, sizes, and stages of completion No one is sure yet as to what purposes did the Moai served. One explanation for the statues: Two classes of people, the-so-called Long Ears and Short Ears, lived on the island. The Short Ears were enslaved by the Long Ears, who forced the Short Ears to carve the Moai. After many generations and during a rebellion, the Short Ears surprised the Long Ears killing them all, which explains the abrupt end of the statue-carving.
