>A new theory about who built the iconic human-like figures on Easter Island has sent shockwaves through the archaeological community.
Most historians agree that the stone structures were constructed by Polynesians around 900 years ago. However, Graham Hancock, a British writer and explorer, claims they are more than 11,000 years old.
Easter Island is home to approximately 1,000 large stone heads, known as Moai, scattered across the island.
Hancock argues that the island was settled, and the statues were built about 12,000 years ago, with a population remaining on the island to eventually meet the Polynesians.
