It's a mystery apparently why they were buried up to their necks. Maybe aliens did it ?????

[unstuck]

Those bloody things would way tons, not easy to move around with rope and logs. The mind boggles.:niceone:

Aliens my arse....:laugh:
They were carved from the rock area above and behind their current position.
Holes were dug ready to receive the entire carving.
The carvings were then slid (probably on skids or rollers) and tilted into the waiting holes.
The holes (or graves) were then filled in.

The heads were left visible for spiritual belief reasons.

[Big Dave]

Wait till they find the Star Gate underneath them.

The Easter Island Lions did it...

[mashman]

WOW that a big figurine... and it took them how long to figure out that there were bodies?

[Madness]

The comments at the bottom are rather deep too.

more believable than Christianity :corn:

what a massive undertaking :gob:

Actually they were a lot smaller when they were carved and then planted. They're like your nose - never stops growing...:whistle:

I planted a rock garden once. It was not gneiss.

I had a rock band.

Hope Jaffa won't start pouring out of it and enslaving the Tauri...:msn-wink:

I reckon it's a hoax, 'cos if you look at the bottom of the statute in the 1st photo, you'll see a pair of sunglasses and he's wearing a g-string...

[tigertim20]

fuck thats awesome!
the mind boggles a bit, a bunch of rag-cloth wearing starving foreign men got them statues into holes no problem, and people these days whine if theyre 5 minutes late finishing work.

Ummmm it is nothing new... many of the statues have bodies...

It has always been a theory that many of the bigger heads also had bodies that were burried... I got taught that in high school back in the 80's?????

however I look at some of these photo's and can not help but think many of them have been photoshopped... lol

[Swoop]

I like the English statue, second from the far end. He's wearing a top hat!:niceone:

[nodrog]

So they can get their own bloody Gum Gum!

[Tigadee]

Gimme gum gum! Me no dum dum!

Looks like he's been caught pissing in the corner.

And bet the one with the ship on it says "Thor was ere" underneath.

[Tigadee]

Thor: "Ach! By Odin's beard! That's where I left my chess pieces!"

Yeah. I've heard it was a load of schist.

If he's English it wouldn't be a top hat....it's more likely to be a turban :)

[Big Dave]

I thought it was a 'fro.

[JustNick]

Nah it looks like the fresh prince of Bel Air with a flat top.

[Kornholio]

Nah it looks like the fresh prince of Bel Air with a flat top.

No, it looks like Gordon :/

[sidecar bob]

What did one Maori statue say to the other? 'statue bro?

[coteesh]

I'm going to sell my Ducati so I can visit Easter Island. Not sure why I bought such a pile to begin with, money pit... oh yeah, it's a fun bike :)

[The Pastor]

its not that interesting.

sure it would of been hard work to dig a hole that big, but its not really that technically difficult. Digging.

[Big Dave]

Not digging.

It's the what the? Not the how.
