Do The Easter Island Heads Really Have Bodies?

image credit

An email containing photos of a startling excavation project has been doing the rounds in recent weeks. According to the email, the mysterious Easter Island statues actually have bodies. The email says archaeologists are now unearthing the statues' bodies, which were gradually buried by 500-plus years of erosion.

But are the surprising images, and the excavation project they depict, actually real? Are the famous Easter Island heads really full-bodied figures?

Mmmm....this issue was already dealt 50 years ago by famous explorer THOR HEYERDAHL in his book easter island.
Pictures of a line of full bodied sttues heve been depicted for years.
Another show of "trivial pursuit" culture via internet...
