‣ We see only the heads but, in the ground, almost all of them also have the body sculpted and finished; their height is between 9 and 33 ft weighing tens of tons each.

‣ We see them without eyes because tradition wanted them to be set in the stone face only when the statue was erected and placed on the altar. The eyes were made with finest materials, such as white coral and obsidian, so the ancestors could project their energy through them.
