From this, different theories have come on the table. Conspiracy theorists and paranormal researchers strongly believe these statues had been placed and constructed with the help of extraterrestrial beings, precisely, an advanced civilization. It is impossible at that time, to dig a big hole, and to construct the statue. Where they got tools and knowledge to cut the rock at such good precision? This has amazed conspiracy theorists! What is surprising, these statues do not have only head, but also body in the underground. Now imagine, how huge are these statues, and they shows how difficult for only human beings to place them inside the ground! This will remind you the pyramids of Egypt…

Furthermore, the island did not know only wonderful periods but also catastrophic episodes in ancient eras. The number of inhabitants was so enormous that the island had to pass in a situation of massive deforestation. The inhabitants got issues for food because there were no animals there except some insects and lizards.
We still do not fully know who really placed these statues on this island and why! There must be a reason after all. Were these statues placed for rituals? Were they placed to illustrate the appearance of an extraterrestrial civilization? Were they placed to give us a sign? We do not know! The mystery of Easter Island will continue to fascinate us in the future it seems if no discoveries are made…
