Easter Island Never Ceases To Amaze

Apparently the stone statues on Easter Island are even more mysterious than previously thought.  They made a discovery below ground featured in a cool video.  Here is more info on the statues from wikipedia:

The large stone statues, or moai, for which Easter Island is famous, were carved in the period 1100–1680 CE (rectified radio-carbon dates).[16] A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island and in museum collections so far.[68] Although often identified as “Easter Island heads”, the statues have torsos, most of them ending at the top of the thighs, although a small number are complete figures that kneel on bent knees with their hands over their stomachs.[69][70]Some upright moai have become buried up to their necks by shifting soils.

Let’s watch the video on this discovery to see what they found on page 2
