It has<br />also been called the belly button of the world, because there are no other islands near it.<br />The earliest people lived there, from 700 to 1100. Over the next 800 years, it developed<br />into a complex society. The people lived without war, until sickness killed most of the population.<br />The most interesting thing about the island is the 887 stone statues that are found there.<br />The statues look like huge faces, with big noses and lips. Most of these stone statues<br />are 4 meters tall. But the biggest one is 10 meters tall. Some could have been 21 meters<br />high, but they were destroyed in earthquakes. Until 1987, many people thought it was impossible<br />for ancient people to move the heavy stones. Some people said visitors from another planet<br />brought them there. The secret of Easter Island had finally been solved, when some people<br />proved the heavy stones could be moved with simple equipment.<br />Easter Island is an island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, 3,500 kilometers off the coast<br />of South America.
