Giant statues give up hat secret

"However, precisely how and why the hats were attached is unknown" - so what's so great about this find then? It actually makes me slightly angry I thought they discovered some grand scheme...they got nothing.

Hmm and they couldn't get any traces in the soil near by??.....There is something fishy Thanks B???

As a hat enthusiast, I'm always glad to see any news about hats, but this sounds like the typically vague kind of "explanation" experts always come up with when they don't really know but they've been given a multi-million dollar budget to investigate something, so they figure that they'd better come up with something. If in doubt, say that something might perhaps have a religious purpose. "An adze was found in pristine condition next to the hats. The scientists think it might be an ancient offering." Or perhaps someone might just have left it there.
