Thank you so much CAROLINA for the nice card . sent on MAY 2013.
Easter Island is located in the southeast Pacific Ocean. It was discovered in the 18th century. The famous giants of Easter Island are hundreds of monoliths that were carved and lined up in a quarry on the island .
The statues of Easter Island dedicated to ancestral cults ,these are human-shaped giants that turn their backs to the ocean. They were probably used to celebrate the gods of the Easter Island population. Many statues have not been finished and remain unfinished in the quarries.
