Man, I love these heads. It's been hundreds of years since Westerners discovered them, and we still have no clue what the heck was going on with these things. PBS did a documentary on them, and the site here is pretty informative; my favorite detail is that the single largest head is about 165 tons, stands 71 feet tall, and archaeologists have nicknamed it "El Gigante". For hilarity's sake, there's an edutainment Flash game at the site that lets you try to figure out how the island inhabitants moved these enormous heads around.
