The hats were constructed with money from the Rapa Nui Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

An early “shovel-ready” economic stimulus project?

They were probably waiting for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series.

If you find another island somewhere that has giant statues wearing bear cubs on their head, this will support my theory.

Red Hats? Obviously a hommage trendy group of retirement aged women who “lunch.”

And no... I am not old enough to join.

The mystery is, when are they going to put the purple dresses on them?

I’ve seen speculation that red hats were used because the people had red hair.

If the researchers had a tough time figuring out how they got the red hats on, wait til works starts on the jimmy hats question!

Some chief woke up and said, “I had a dream...”, and then ordered his peons to stop farming and start making hats for the statues.

Probably believed it would stop global warming.

Precisely how and why the hats were attached is unknown.

Then the statues have not given up the mystery.

I am sure Art? Bell had on a psychic who explained all this long ago. These were placed on the head because the ufo aliens had worn them, ya know the venetians for vegans or whatever.:)

Is that guy still on
