Los años pasados se ha dedicado mucho más tiempo que antes a investigar la estatuas de piedra llamadas Moáis, misteriosas construcciones que se encuentran en Chile, en la Isla de Pascua. Nadie se imaginaba lo que había enterrado debajo de estas cabezas que se asemejan mucho a las de un humano pero con un estilo mucho más rural, las cejas y nariz extrañas dan muestra de esto, estas figuras están hechas de rocas y fueron construidas con piedras usando técnicas que hasta el día de hoy se desconocen.
Algunas teorías más fantasiosas nos dicen que los Moáis en realidad fueron construidos por extraterrestres y tienen esta forma porque ellos se ven así de raros, éstas cuentan con unas enormes cejas y una gruesa nariz en forma de T.
Es inaudito la pobre información acerca de estas estructuras de piedra, aunque es conocido que los que vivían en el pueblo de Rapa Nui fueron los que diseñaron uno de los mayores enigmas del planeta, alrededor del año 1200, pese a que todos creíamos que estaban formadas únicamente por estas alargadas cabezas, las estatuas tienen hombros torso y están algunos metros bajo tierra, fueron enterradas así por alguna razón que a día de hoy aún desconocemos.
Precisamente este será el siguiente desafío para los arqueólogos especialistas en el tema, ojalá y no les tome tanto tiempo y podamos saber toda la historia completa detrás de estás estatuas, y lograr resolver el gran misterio que las envuelve.

Americans Terry Hunt and Carl P. Lipo have recently investigated the sensational theory that the Rapa Nui people tied ropes around the massive moai statues and moved them into place with a walking motion. Their team managed to move a replica 100 meters (330 ft) in this manner. They also argue that this explains Rapa Nui folklore, which tells of the statues walking, animated by magic.

Very interesting story about the long ears and the short ears.
Scroll down to the bottom for the moral of the story.
Author Rupert Ivan Murrill mentions in his Cranial and Postcranial Skeletal Remains from Easter Island that skulls found on the island were long and narrow. Evidence was also found of long ears. Aku-Aku by Thor Heyerdahl mentions a deadly fight or war between the short-eared and long-eared people of Easter Island.
The story goes that the long-eared people, who’d inhabited the island first, dug a ditch around 1675 and filled it with brushwood. A long-eared man revealed to his short-eared wife that his people planned to lead all the short-ears into the ditch and burn them. The shocked short-eared woman told her people of the plans, betraying her husband to save her people.
A fight broke out, and the short-eared people chased the long-eared people to the ditch. Then they burned them, women and children included. Only two long-ears survived, fleeing to a nearby cave. The short-ears followed them and killed one of them, leaving just one long-eared survivor.
Heyerdahl described the long-ears as Peruvians, meaning they would antedate the short-ears, who were thought to be Polynesians. Captain James Cook visited Easter Island between 1772 and 1775 and saw many people with long earlobes, which raises some questions about the accuracy of the tale.
Moral of the story: If your wife has short ears......don't tell her nothing!
