There is a point on the earth's surface where you stand and there is another point opposite to it, this point is known as antipode.

Easter Island is present in the Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean of the Polynesian triangle in Oceania. Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues which are also known as Moai, created by the ancient people. UNESCO named Easter Island as a World Heritage site in the year 1995.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in England 3km from Amesbury. It consists of a ring standing stone that is 4.1 meters tall, 2.1 meters wide and weighs about 25 tons. the Archaeologists who study on this topic believe that it was constructed between 3000 BC and 2000 BC. There are many mythologies connected to it. 

The coordinates of Easter island is 27 degree south and 109 degrees 22 west. According to the antipode point, the opposite point of Eater island should be 27 degrees, 7 north, and 70 degrees 48 west. But here, in this case, the Stonehenge co-ordinate points are 51 degrees 1043.84 north and 1 degree 4934.28 west which significantly shows that Easter Island and Stonehenge are not opposite to each other.

But some of the mythologies say that it's a total body of a stone man that the heads are on Easter Island and the legs are in the Stonehenge that means the stone man’s body is pierced through the earth. Some archaeologists say the Stonehenge's construction technology given by the aliens is that the stone weighs about 50 tons, and in the ancient times, no human was capable enough to lift the stone. Read this to know from where these huge stones came.

Another conspiracy theory relevant to this topic had to say that a race of giants who were totally wiped out by Noah’s flood, used their strength, capability, and great heights to build the Stonehenge. Some people say by seeing the round shape structure that the early people could have built this monument for tracking the movements of the sky.

The first human of Rapa Nui are believed to have arrived in the 300-400 AD, and they made it. Some people believe that this is the head part and the full body is present in some other corner of the world.
