New photographs reveal what lies beneath Easter Island, the carved bodies of the island's 887 famous stone sentinels as simple heads. But the heads all have bodies.......................
The statues are buried up to mid-torso level, covered up not intentionally by men, but through exposure to the environment's sediment.
And recent digs have revealed just how the massive heads were carved -- some of which tower more than 30 feet in height, from base to top, and weigh more than 80 tons.
Imagine the full size of the statues if the head are up to 30 feet in height....................and how long it'll take for sediment to collect to cover the entire body of the statues.................
it'll take tens of thousands of years...................!!!
