Why are you reporting this puzzle?

Archaeologist, Brien Foerster: "What looked like a rock on the surface was actually a gigantic buried statue, discovered this week on Easter Island. Notice the large size of the figure."

Though believed by most people that Easter Island was first inhabited by Polynesians who arrived on the island about 1,000 years ago, there is compelling evidence that at least one culture preceded them and had advanced tools or tool-making capabilities. This is shown at sites like Vinapu, where the remains of a megalithic wall exists that is very similar to stone structures found in the highlands of Peru.

Also, some of the large Moai figures (Easter Island heads) are in fact full bodied, and one in the quarry would have weighed 180 tons but was never finished. Easter Island, located more than 2000 miles from any major landmass, is truly an enigma that is slowly revealing its secret history.

Brien has explored more than 90 countries but his true passion is researching and writing about the ancient megalithic works found in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Easter Island, Egypt, England, and beyond.

I have seen many documentaries on this island and this could have been buried. Toward the end of their 'spiritual' culture, they toppled over or destroyed a lot of these statues. dj

I am wondering if they were buried or that that much soil has accumulated, hmmm?
