Easter Island Statues

                 
You probably have heard about and seen pictures of the many strange statues (Moai) on Easter Island.

And indeed, they are not only strange, but their origin and age is debated by many.

Recently some friends of DIT went to Easter Island, which is located in the Pacific Ocean, a couple of thousand miles off the coast of Chile.

They were impressed by these images and, in fact, the picture today, is one which they took.

A recent article says that there is more to some of these statues that meet the eye.

Yes, many of the statues are of heads and bodies but some are seemingly only heads.

However, apparently even those that seem to be only heads also have bodies.

The bodies are actually there but have been buried over time by sediments.
