Along the long promenade built on an abandoned railway, more than 30 'primitive' replica of the stone monuments of the world stand : Japan, Korea, Pacific islands, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Europe and Mesoamerica.
"Moyai" derived from Moai on the Easter island and the Japanese word for linkage (of the ships).
