I don't suppose there's a Reddit expert handy?

Were these buried intentionally upon/around completion? Cataclysm? Settling?

What, if anything, has been learned from the petroglyphs found?

Why not rebury the excavated stones and dig out a couple more to look for new information?

I'm not sure if this is legit. I read that once british explorers travelled to easter island and reported that all the moai were toppled due to war. Something can't be knocked over and underground surely?

uexkull · 5 months

So the builders of these statues must've enclosed the statue and made the rest of the earth match up which is both a pretty amazing feat and illogical (why bury what you have crafted). Or these statues are much older than we think. Or am I wrong?

peetee32 · 5 months

made me think of this:

Jerry and Elaine sit in a booth.

JERRY: So you hurt Vincent's feelings?

ELAINE: (handing Jerry an envelope) Look what came in the mail today.

JERRY: (taking the envelope) Wh..What's this?

Jerry opens the envelope and shakes a small object out onto his palm.

ELAINE: It's the play button, off his VCR.

JERRY: (examining the button) Boy, look how far back it goes. It's like a tooth.

They may find the easter eggs if they dig a lil deeper.

Okina · 5 months

As an archaeology student in Chile, I can say that this picture could be altered to make it look longer than it actually is.

Anyway, the point is that there are plenty of Moais that are not buried underground so I don't get where this idea of them being only heads comes from.

Now, this one is underground because it is at the quarry in Rano Raraku so it was never taken away to put it another place.

Dysalot · 5 months

As a Construction Management student, the lack of shoring on the hole, and the lack of stabilizers on the statue terrifies me.

I wonder if they were always buried that way or if they used to be taller, but dirt eventually buried them that far...

Now you can stop wondering if there's more than just the head and start wondering why the statue has six nipples.

I like the forested backdrop. Hey, what ever happened to those people, did God save them? since they were obviously devout.

michaelmclees · 5 months

I have a theory on these. In primitive cultures, people who are sentenced to death are sometimes buried up to their shoulders and then stoned. What if these heads are substitute stonees, like enormous stress relievers for a grieved party. Can't find the person who robbed you at night? Throw rocks at the giant stone head; you'll feel better.

Why they are so deep in the ground? maybe there was huge vulcanic eruption and all Islaands got many meters of ashes like Pompey and all local people just died under ashes or of starvation?

mat_899 · 5 months

Could this mean that they are older than we think? Just by the sheer amount of sediments ( or dirt). How much time could it take to bury this statue to 3/4 of its height? Because they wouldn't just bury this themselves (the people who built them), mostly because you can see details of the hands.

Did anyone heard about their eyes too? On the wiki page it says :"The whites of the eyes were made of coral, the iris was made of obsidian or red scoria" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Island

I actually just visited Easter Island and unfortunately after they dug this up they buried it again to prevent erosion. This is at the quarry where these statues (moai) were made, here is a picture of how they look like in their final display position.
