These aren’t just rocks; they’re sacred monuments carved by the Rapa Nui people, each one holding stories of ancestry, power, and survival. Losing them would mean losing an irreplaceable chapter of human history. In this video, we’ll explore why the statues are in danger, what’s being done to save them, and what it means for our shared future. Join us before the waves take them away forever.
