The Easter Island heads have bodies.

The inscriptions are neat, but how are the bodies surprising? The ones that made it to their display clearly have bodies. And the speculation is that the heads scattered around were incompletely transported. Or is there evidence that they were burried there?

I never knew they had bodies, thought they were just carved heads.

Nor did I for that matter.

Ah, my mistake then, I did a report on Easter Island two years ago, so I'm a little familiar with at least a snapshot of the history on it. Fascinating place!

I never knew either. I was actually blown away by this and was reminded of seeing an iceberg and how a person is not immediately aware of how awesome they are until you see what's below the water.

That's crazy! I thought it was fake at first, but it's worth a wikipedia read.
