We don’t know why the statues were left on the island. Perhaps the builders were killed by a disease, or war. Perhaps they used all the natural resources on the island. there are many unanswered quetions about Easter Island. A Norwegian explorer, thor heyerthal, believed that they were built by people from South America. To prove this, he made a simple raft and sailed there, all the way from peru.
