Easter Island Statues
- On February 6, 2020 archeologists from Binghamton University found evidence that the Easter Island heads (or Moai Heads) were made about 300 years later than was originally believed.
- The team was lead by Robert J. DiNapoloe.
- They found evidence that supports the theory that the Spanish fabricated the story that the natives were almost all gone. They made this up because they suffered a great defeat, and they didn't want to go home as fools.
- The heads are believed to be signs to their gods.
-The heads are on a South American Pacific Island called Rapa Nui.
