Theres 887 statues in total on the island. Lke tyler said, alot of them are on those rock platforms and lot of them are just heads and are smaller. So i guess they just assumed the rest were the same. I think there are 2 like this so far, and they also have weird markings on the bodies which no other statues have. Most likely there are more of them. I'm sure they will start looking now. It would be interesting to know how many tones that one weight. Also how the hell is it so deep? Was it buried? Did the soil build up over time or was there some type of tsunami/cataclsymic event. Any of those explanations would suggest the statues are way older than we thought.
according to local legends "the spiritual power (mana)" was used by the moai to "walk" the statues from the quarry. To me this just reminds me of acoustic levitation - something that was mentioned on ancient aliens
