   Jo Anne Van Tilburg, an archeologist at UCLA and one of the world's leading experts on Easter Island, says the stone statues on Rapa Nui are not unlike other statues found in the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific.In fact, smaller versions of the statues on Easter Island are also found in Tahiti and Hawaii, she says.
