Few specifics are known about the history or meaning of the <A href="http://www.eisp.org/">unusual statues</A>, but many believe that they were created about 500 years ago in the <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hO-vCPuuQQ">images</A> of local leaders of a lost civilization. <A href="http://www.astrosurf.com/sguisard/Pagim/Easter_Island1.html">Pictured above</A>, a large stone statue appears to ponder the distant <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap081219.html">Large Magellanic Cloud</A> before a cloudy sky that features the bright stars <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopus">Canopus</A> and <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070203.html">Sirius</A>. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/139D6B55-4C98-4D48-9B17-314E66736A99/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
