At the beginning of this month, the UNESCO agency donated 11.5 million dollars for the restoration of the giant stone statues in the Easter Islands, which the locals call "Muai". In recent years, the sculptures have suffered a lot of damage from tropical storms and tourists who wanted to take a souvenir home, and broke pieces of the rock.
The mysterious "moai", which researchers still do not know who carved them and how they were moved to the places where they are placed, attract about 20 thousand tourists to the Easter Islands a year.
