...when, with the assistance of the islanders, he dug three huge trenches in the rubbled slopes of Rano-Raraku. The largest of them was 48 ft. deep and 225 ft. long. At every level the diggers found modi stacked upon modi-Maziere believes that at least as many statues lie in the grainy earth of Easter Island as stand upon it. Some of the buried figures are the most massive yet found, and not a few preserve nuances of modeling that wind and weather have long since stripped from the giants on the headland. Unfortunately, before Maziere could complete...
