    Located on an island in the South Pacific Ocean 3,800 nautical miles off the coast of Chile, Lapa Nui National Park covers an area of about 180 square kilometers and was recognized as a World Heritage Site in 1995. On Easter Day 1722, the Dutch seafaring explorer Jacob Rogwein landed on the island, hence the name Easter Island. It is estimated that in the 10th and 16th centuries, the indigenous people of the island carved 1,000 megaliths with human faces, each 2 10 meters high and weighing 40 80 tons, for the purpose of worshipping the gods.

    Somehow, these mysterious Moya statues have their eyes gouged out, but they keep looking up at the sky, as if they are silently telling a distant story, leaving posterity with incomprehensible mysteries and infinite reverie.

    Rapa Nui Island, also known as Easter Island. It is an isolated island in the South Pacific Ocean 3,800 nautical miles off the coast of Chile and was formed about a million years ago by the eruption of three volcanoes at the bottom of the sea. There are about 2,000 people living on the island, all of whom belong to the Polynesian race, and before the arrival of Westerners on the island, it was still in the Stone Age of mankind, and they only had a language, not a written language.

    Easter Island is most famous for its colossal stone statues, of which about 1,000 have been discovered. Most of these huge stone statues are by the sea, some are erected in the grass, some fall to the ground, and some are erected on altars.

    Rock Church of Lalibeira. Legend has it that in the 12th century, Lalibela, the seventh king of Ethiopia, received an oracle in a dream: "To build a new city of Jerusalem in Ethiopia and to ask for a church to be built from a single rock".

    In accordance with the oracle, Lalibela used 20,000 people to excavate 11 rock churches in 24 years on the rocky plateau at an altitude of 2,600 meters in northern Ethiopia, which people called Lalibela. Since then, Lalibela has become a sacred place for Ethiopians. To this day, believers gather here every year on January 7, Ethiopian Christmas.

    Originally known as Rohan, the city was later renamed in honor of the founder of the magical rock church, King Ralibela of the Zag dynasty. This dynasty ruled Ethiopia from 1173 to 1270. It is said that when the king was first born, he was surrounded by a swarm of bees, and his mother happily named him Ralibela, which means "bees recognize his monarchical power".
