One more thing about Toltec Atlantean stone warrios and Moais...

The weird belt I was talking about. Picture from the Moai in the British Museum.

This Toltec stone Atlante warriors are my favorite stone idols from pre-hispanic Mexico...
They are in the middle of nowhere.
As with any cool mystery, there are various "theories"...
They where supposed to come to life when Toltec witch doctors (like Carlos Castaneda) put their "intent" in them... like a Frankenstein, like a golem, like a stone robot. How cool is that?!
They are representations of aliens, if you look closely, they are holding a triangle shaped space laser ray gun.
They are representations of warriors from the lost island of Atlantis, they came all the way from the middle of the Atlantic ocean to keep their knowledge safe in Mexico,(the rest of the surviving Atlanteans went to the north of Spain and the South of France and became the Basques... but that is another story) latter the Toltec shaman learned the knowledge and kept it in secret, until the Conquistadors came and kill most of them, then the french came, then the gringos... Now that knowledge is gone forever, right?
They look kinda Tiki to me, so this is my theory, please don't steal it.
They look a lot like Easter Island Moais. Here is why:
Both are made of stone.
Both are tall.
Both have long ears.
Both wear "hats"
And the weirdest of the coincidences, they both wear a belt with some strange circle on the back, which actually, is called "nucleo de integracion", this gave them super powers. This is almost accepted by modern neurology to explain the super human feats accomplished by witchdoctors, shamans and martial artists.
Believe it or not...
Suck on that one Erich von Däniken!

I checked my 2007 pics from Kon-Tiki Museum, Olso... Only fronts as hard up against a wall. Sorry.
And dreadful pics from my cellphone!
