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:
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.
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...
