Tourist resources of Lapa Nui National Park

Life tips: Chileans are accustomed to drinking tea at 5 p.m., so dinner is late; women do not wear shorts on the streets unless they are at the beach; 2:00 to 5:30 in the middle of the night from Monday to Friday It is lights-out and bedtime, and there is no such rule on Saturdays and Sundays. Specialties and souvenirs: red grapes, salmon, wine, copperware, wood carvings, leather products, the famous black pottery and Indian handmade carpets, etc. Wooden boards engraved with strange patterns were once found near the stone statues, known as "talking boards", but these boards later suffered catastrophes caused by "civilized people". After explorers discovered Easter Island, European missionaries came to the island to spread God's "will." They ordered that all the boards be burned. Only one local resident snatched 25 wooden planks, nailed them into a fishing boat, and fled to the sea. Later, these 25 wooden boards were preserved and collected by famous museums around the world. These surviving "talking wooden boards" are 2 meters long, with square patterns carved on both sides using shark teeth or hard stones, such as fish, birds, vegetation, paddles, etc., as well as some geometric figures. However, are the patterns on these "talking wooden boards" actually words? What is it telling us? The mystery has not been solved yet.
