On Easter Island, stone idols were burned due to a fire - some cannot be restored.

Approximately 60 hectares of vegetation burned down on the island. The area around the Rano Raraku volcano suffered the most - the ancient Rapanui people cut blocks for moai from its body. This area is listed as a World Heritage Site. In total, about a thousand moai are installed on Easter Island. They were carved out of stone in 1400-1650. Most of the idols reach a height of four meters, the largest - ten, and at the same time weighs 74 tons. It is believed that each idol personified the spirit of a particular Rapanui ancestor. There is also a version that stone giants were placed all over the island to increase the fertility of the land.
