+Oliver A Ehlers originally shared this post:
Easter Island heads have bodies

Absolutely fascinating. This has some pretty incredible implications. At least one of the Easter Island heads has been excavated by a private research group [1], and has been discovered to have a carved body.

Were the Easter Island heads originally on much lower ground? Or were they buried by the original creators?

Easter Island is an internationally recognized World Heritage Site [2] and is also considered to be the most remote inhabited island in the world [3]. Anyone interested in #Anthropology is probably very familiar with the (887) massive stone statues that are scattered around the island, and anyone would be intrigued by the mystery behind them. It falls right in line with the incredible puzzle ancient sites like Stonehenge, the Pyramids, and Machu Picchu provide (in terms of how exactly ancient people constructed them).

What do you think happened on Easter Island?

They weren't buried.

They're very slowly crawling out of the earth.

... except we already knew most have bodies for several decades, and quite a few of them were partly above the ground from the beginning.

They just call them Easter Island Heads because the heads are disproportionally large to their bodies, not because they're just heads.

It's just that the most famous pics of them just show the heads.

Isn't the big question why/how they were buried?

From my quick scanning of Wikipedia yesterday, they think it was volcanic activity or something? Not sure cause I didn't read it all.

How they were built is kind of a mystery, or at least a shitton of work.

I didn't know, and neiter did any of the friends i told.
I had a similar experience with learning that caffein induced anxiety: almost nobody knew, except for one who said 'well, duh. doesn't everyone know that?'
Perhaps we should occasionally check wether people actually know what we think they know.

Actually, yeah, sorry about that :)

It's just that I already bitched about this topic on HackerNews because 1) those guys are kinda annoying 2) there's not enough real tech hacker shit being posted there and that particular topic linked to a real stupid blog article about this and everybody was like OMG MIND=BLOWN and PARADIGM=SHIFTED (except not like that because internet slang or humour is frowned upon by those with the downvote powerz)

Come on Nigel there has been much worse non-news posted on other forums!

This just shows how little people even care about relevancy today!

There ought to be a law against this!
