Sorry, but I don't believe these statues were man made. The time line Jo Anne gives does not correlate with the possibilities of structuring. Man may have assisted, but I believe a extra terrestrial being had a lot to do with the construction and placement of the statues. And if not, why in the world would the people of the tiny island all of a sudden decide to take on such a project and why did they chose to make them all have the same facial expressions?
