The links embedded in this blogpost no longer work so here is an article that talks about what they believe to know about these sculptures: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/07/26/famous-easter-island-heads-have-hidden-bodies/?sh=be1375ef8041
I saw this article linked to on a messageboard...digging around the Easter Island heads reveals they have entire bodies buried underneath them, planted deep into the ground.
Excerpt from the linked article:
All Easter Island’s giant statues were supposedly made within the
space of a few hundred years. Different phases are clearly discernible,
and may be separated by far longer periods than orthodox opinion allows.
It is significant that the statues do not bear the slightest
resemblance to the Polynesians, and in terms of size, appearance, and
number are unique in the Pacific.
All the giant statues on Easter Island have long ears, and some islanders still practised ear elongation at the time the first Europeans arrived.

The elongated ear lobes on these images is interesting to me because it is a feature that is also seen in some African tribes, and in Asian Buddha statues. Not really sure why that is interesting to me, maybe "curious" is a better word...not sure how this all fits into today's world and things that have happened in Biblical times. I've read some people on the messageboard question the possibility of a Nephilim connection.... hmmmm, perhaps...
Excerpt from the linked article:
Easter Island is perhaps best known for
its immense stone statues ‘Moai’, of which there are approximately 900
scattered across the island. Some of the Maoi were placed, facing
towards the centre of the island, on platforms called ‘Ahu’, built along
the coasts. Captain Cook was told in 1774 that they were monuments to
earlier ‘ariki’s', or royalty. The ‘Maoi’ are also described in local
tradition as having once possessed ‘mana’ or a beneficial power.

Interesting, I wonder what all that stuff means...esp. the ear elongation, what would make someone think that is a good idea?
ReplyDeleteThere are verses that talk about ear piercing which have to do with a person being a slave. It might be some exaggeration or mutation of that system, maybe? Also did you notice the writings/symbols on the back?
DeleteI see guys walking around with giant earlobes pierced and stretched with huge rings in them, right here in my small town. What are they thinking? Some teens have their ears surgically altered to look like elves... etc. Ecclesiastes 1:9. So, what's new?
DeleteWonder why they made them so big? Maybe they too had ego problems but no facebook or Twitter or Pinterest, lol. Sorry, it's just hard to keep a straight face sometimes, especially this late. Forgive me? Blessings!
Elf ears DO sound pretty cool.;)
DeleteHi Petra and Ma,
DeleteI personally don't understand the surgical alterations stuff...once I saw a program about the very bizarre things people have done, such as looking like a cat or lizard, ugh! Well, to each his own, eh? And this has been going on since the beginning of time, so, nothing new under the sun? So true, not much changes, even when technology advances, people pretty much stay what we've always been...broken...only Jesus can... and eventually will, correct that. :)
Whoa. I guess those people had a lot of time on their hands. I thought that creating and transporting just the heads was a lot of work.
ReplyDelete"Approximately 900..." is a lot of statues... yeah, I would say they had a lot of time on their hands! lol :)
DeleteTo me they look like guards to scare off passing pirates. I think there is so much we don't know about history, architecture, newly discovered treasures, buried Easter Island statues, the list goes on. It seems we have some mysteries to solve. 😊
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did they lift those things into position? They must weigh a few tons each!
