Located some distance off the coast of Chile, Easter Island is a remote island paradise of rolling green hills, dramatic coastline and some nine hundred mysterious stone heads. Known as moai, they have kept a close watch on the island and its inhabitants for centuries. Yet, to this day, little is actually known about them, though speculation and debate abound.

Join me as I seek to answer these questions in today's all-new episode!
