Here is how this Wikipedia entry begins: “Hoa Hakananai’a is a moai, a statue from Easter Island. It was taken from Orongo [a stone village and ceremonial center at the southwestern tip of the island] in 1868 by the crew of a British ship and is now in the British Museum in London.” See also this BBC report dated 18 Feb. 2024. (In all, 12 of these Easter Island monoliths are believed to be overseas, presumably stolen, and housed in such venerable institutions as the Smithsonian and the Louvre!)
