My spouse sent this to my email, I thought it was really interesting! I actually “didn’t know”.
The email says:
Remember the Easter Island huge stone heads?? Well, new developments below.
The mystery may be slowly unraveling.
This is pretty cool… never knew they were excavating….
The Stone Statues in 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 have writings on them.
The email had no credit on it.
These have always intrigued me. Now we know that naturally over time many layers of sediment and dirt and erosion of the soil can bury even the tallest and strangest of structures. Look at the Mayan pyramids even they over the years with nature trying to retake what was hers in the first place have eroded and started to crumble. Possibly former residents of the island buried these to hide the secrets oe perhaps mother earth did it herself. You be the judge.
WOW… Those are HUGE… I wonder what happened to have buried them that deeply.
I think the most interesting question is: “Why don’t the natives know how they were built, or by whom?” They Researchers also have no explanation as to how the heads were even made, seeing as how they have minerals that aren’t even native to the land that they are on.
Very peculiar.
There are no natives!
I had no idea either! I became fascinated with these when I saw photos that an astronomer shared at a lecture, after having seen an eclipse over there. Very cool!
I hope we learn more about where these came from and what they were for.
I’ve always been facinated by those statues.
Gotta be fake .
Not fake…more pictures here
