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

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

Aliens my arse....
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.

Wait till they find the Star Gate underneath them.

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

Hope Jaffa won't start pouring out of it and enslaving the Tauri...

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...

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.
