ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAVE FOUND SOMETHING STRANGE ON THE EASTER ISLAND, A PLACE ALREADY BRIMMING WITH MYSTERIES

Says Tilburg,  “the reason people think they are [only] heads is there are about 150 statues buried up to the shoulders on the slope of a volcano, and these are the most famous, most beautiful and most photographed of all the Easter Island statues. This suggested to people who had not seen photos of [other unearthed statues] that they are heads only.”
