" For a long time it was believed that the massive statutes consisted of just the heads.

However, in October 2011, when the Easter Island Statue Project began its Season V expedition, scientists could reveal remarkable photos showing that the bodies of the statues go far deeper underground than just about anyone had imagined. "

Apparently this isnt new.

In fact, archaeologists have studied the statues on the island for about a century, and have been aware of the torsos beneath the statues' heads since the earliest excavations in 1914.

Interesting that the Statues are carved showing Artistic designs on them. Then there are scrawling's resembling Canoes, and this is not recognized as ancient graffiti??

The Basic engineering to "Walk" the statues have some speculating, but an article form 2012 demonstrates that 18 people could walk a statue

You're being sarcastic right?

We've known they had bodies since the early 1900s
