After a few hours on display in front of Chile's presidential palace, the head, one of hundreds of huge Easter Island statues known as Moais, was placed in a wooden crate and trucked from Santiago to the neighboring port city of Valparaiso. A navy ship was to take it on the 2,500-mile trip home across the Pacific Ocean.
