REALITY CAPTURE
About the Moai
According to the most consensual theory about the island, the moais would have been erected by the first inhabitants, the "Rapanui", as a tribute to the dead leaders, which would explain the arrangement in which they are found, with all of them facing the sea, that is, facing the interior of the island where the villages were located. Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited places in the world: it is 118 km² of land in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, 1600 km east of Pitcairn Island and 3700 km west of Chile. Dutchman Jacob Roggeveen was the first Westerner to visit the place, on April 5, 1722. He found Polynesians and natives with "fair skin and red hair", who lived in huts made of thatch and subsisted on the sparse vegetation.
