Final Destruction
While the statues are intriguing themselves, another mystery lies with where the people who created them went and why. As expected, many theories have been invented to explain their strange disappearance. Generally, anthropologists all agree on one thing. Sometime within the 18th century, the people rioted and rebelled against the leaders of the island. Perhaps, as supplies slowly declined and tensions escalated between the various communities, battles broke out. In the aftermath, statues were destroyed and left on the ground. Of course, the fallen ones have since been re-erected.
