Chile Easter Inland Metres Moais Rapa Restored Washed 1960 1990s Fifteen Hundreds Tongariki Tsunami
EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a comeback! These fifteen Moais of Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island have definitely had their fair share of adventures. After being washed hundreds of meters inland by a tsunami in 1960, they decided it was time for a little R&R and took some well-deserved vacation time. But don't worry, they didn't forget to send us this postcard from their restoration trip in the 1990s! Resting against the stunning backdrop of Chile's Rapa Nui, these majestic stone statues are back and better than ever. It seems like even tsunamis can't keep them down! With their stoic expressions and towering presence, they're ready to reclaim their title as the ultimate selfie spot. Imagine being one of these Moais – you'd have quite the story to tell your friends at happy hour! From surviving natural disasters to becoming world-famous icons, life is never dull when you're made out of rock. And let's not forget that breathtaking ocean view – talk about prime real estate! So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, just remember: if these resilient Moais can weather a tsunami and still stand tall with style, then so can you! Channel your inner Moai spirit and face any obstacle head-on. Who knows? Maybe one day there'll be a picture print capturing your own epic journey.
