I had this sent to me by a friend....who would have thought it?
WHO KNEW?
Fancy
that nobody thought to dig around them before now! These monolithic
human figures were carved by the Rapa Nui people from rock on
the Chilean Polynesian Island of Easter between 1250 and 1500. Now we
learn, 500 to 750 years later, that the stone statues on Easter
Island have bodies!
This is absolutely incredible. Here we've been thinking for all these years that they were just heads. They are going to be absolutely huge when they are completely excavated. It all just adds to the mystery of these amazing sculptures. Maybe now they can get more information about them seeing as they all have writings on them.
These pictures are really cool, absolutely fascinating (and I still want to know how those things got there!).
