This would make sence on many levels. Making the statues walk would have significant spiritual value to the creators, the walking protectors marching thier way to the cliffs and shores must have been quite the sight. Hewing them from the earth mother and isle itself then making them into either centurions, gods, protectors or greeters. There is a whole chapter missing here, probably never to be known. I still personally think they were testimony to gods that came down to visit, what ever happened to compell this civilization to create these moia, had such an impact on the people that they became obsessed with the event and to commemorate it with permanent images. If only we could go back in time to discover all these civilizations and the incredible monoliths, the pyramid, the maya, aztec, gobekli tepi, puma punku, etc. How I yearn to know the truth.

Yup, the gods came down alright. That must have been quite a sight. There were 256 of them. (No, I don't have any reason as to why it was 256, but I know it was 256.)
