File photo - Statues at Anakena Beach, Easter Island, Chile. (Photo by Eric LAFFORGUE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Places without ahu/moai showed no freshwater, he added.

That is a tall proposition but it is certainly one Jefferson Davis would understand and certainly one for which Jefferson Davis would fight. – Secretary Wilkie	Found on CNN 5 years ago
