Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the “heads” of Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the “giant heads”, several meters tall, were considered an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have to be authentic stone giants, at least 20 meters high, to meet the proportions. Recent excavations have shown that the “giant heads” of Easter Island are in fact buried “stone giants” whose heads emerged from the earth. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the workforce to bury dozens and dozens of “stone giants” in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions. The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the workforce of an empire at their disposal. What workforce did the islanders of the small Easter Island have at their disposal? The same thing happened in Nan Madol. A mysterious people built a metropolis on a small island in the middle of the Ocean. Of course, it’s possible to do that. But only if you have the workforce of an empire. But what workforce was available on a totally isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? The same thing happened on the border between Turkey and Syria. An entire megalithic complex was completely buried, no one knows by whom, no one knows why. This site has been called “Göbekli Tepe”, which means “the belly hill”. But beneath that hill lies one of humanity’s deepest mysteries. Recent studies using ground-penetrating radar have revealed that there are dozens of sites similar to Göbekli Tepe “buried” many meters deep. Was it a civilization unknown to us that later disappeared?
