Scientists have found a previously undiscovered moai, monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island, in a dry lake bed.
"This is the first time, from what I understand, that something has been found in the basin," said archaeologist Jose Miguel Ramirez.
It meant that "the lake had likely dried at some point in the past, and perhaps the Rapa Nui were taking advantage of that to move the statue," he added.
