Giant statues reveal red hat secrets: study (wl_uk_afp): "British archaeologists said Monday they believe they have solved the ancient mystery of how the giant stone statues on Easter Island acquired distinctive red hats.


The researchers said the key to the mystery lies in their discovery of a road on the tiny Pacific island."


Easter Island - the Navel of the World presents both a cultural and archaeological mystery to scientists and visitors who travel to Easter island as a favored, if isolated, desolation.
