Rob has always wondered at the mystery and power of the giant stone statues on far-away Easter Island. They look like they know things that we don’t - though we are slowly discovering more about their secrets, and about the people who made them. It’s a fascinating story, and it’s still unfolding. There are still secrets to discover, and much that is yet to be told.
