Easter Island - Mysterious Stone Statues (Vol 2 Hidden Worlds)

I decided to write a series of articles on the lesser know places in the world and I gave it the name Hidden World. In this series, I shared with you information about a lesser known tiny Island nation, Niue. Through this article, you come to know about this tiny but very beautiful island situated 2400 KM away from New Zealand.

This series also represents my list of top places around the world which I will like to visit if I gets a chance to visit them. Today, I will share with you second place of this list which is Easter Island, which is a world heritage site declared by UNESCO for its 887 large stone statues known as Moais. Some of these statues are erected in a line while others are lying half-buried in different parts on the island.

These stone statues are very unique in nature and we don't find similar statues anywhere around the world. These statues are created from volcanic rocks between 1100 to 1680. Today, some of the stone statues are clearly visible while others are partially visible with heads above the surface with remaining part under the surface. In 2012, excavation started to unearth the hidden part of these statues and archaeologists are able to dig much deeper in the surface to show some surpriseing images of these statues.

Because of these wonderful stone statues many people from around the world come here to themselves witness these miracles. Today, Easter Island is part of Chile and it is 3759 KM away from main land. The best way to reach Easter Island is through its only international airport which runs daily direct flights from Chile.

Easter Island is a small triangular shaped Island with area of 163.6 square kms. The formation of this island is a result of volcanic eruption and we can find here three extinct volcanoes. This island is a hidden world with many mysteries because for long, this remote island was away from the reach of rest of people from other parts of the world so an unique culture developed in this nation which is still a mystery for us.

Today, no one exactly knows why these stones were created and how the natives managed to do all this with limited resources. Though as per the assumptions, these stone statues were created in the memories of formal heads of the clan.

Like others, I do have a dream to visit this island and myself see these large stone statues. I know that Easter Island is situated much far away from where I live but I have faith that one day, I will reach there to myself witness these wonders.

Importance of clean environment

Read in Hindi It is very important to take care of our environment because our health and our survival on the earth directly depends on the health of our environment. It is very easy to find dirt and pollution at many places across the world and a large population of the world is living in these bad and unhygienic conditions.

Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai Bachan hardly need any introduction and they are the most successful and best couples of Bollywood. They married on 20-4-2007 and that time, there were speculations about their marriage that will there marriage be a success or not? Till now their married life is going very smoothly and they become proud parents of a beautiful daughter Aaradhya on 16th Nov, 2012. The marriage of Abhishek and Aishwarya was unique in one more way. Aishwarya Rai is older than Abhishek Bachan by 2 yrs and 2 months which is the opposite of the general trend in India where mostly groom age is more than a bride. Date of Birth of Aishwarya Rai is 1st November 1973 and Date of Birth of Abhishek Bachan is February 5th, 1976. Even after six years of their marriage, this matter is the main point of many talks and at many places where the age of the girl is more than a boy, then this example is given.

Best Books you must read in New Year

A book is a gift you can open again and again. Garison Keillor I have learned many important lessons in life by reading some useful books. These books helped me to not repeat the same mistakes that were done by the authors of the book. Mostly, we don't give the book the respect which they deserve because we don't know how much valuable knowledge is stored in them. We can easily become any kind of person we want to become by reading these books. There is a book available in the stores on almost all the topics we need. Moreover, most of these books are not very expensive and we all can afford them.

I am able to make the right decisions in my life because of the knowledge gained through the books. Some people may claim that bookish knowledge is not that effective but it is better than having nothing. Below, I am going to list some good and interesting books
