i think his point was, so all that statue falls into the sea... it's not gonna float away, it's just gonna sit there... the water would take an IMMENSE amount of time to wear down stone like that... so basically, either the foot was placed there... the rest of the statue was carted away or used for other things (such as in concrete while constructing the hatches)... or it was buried. perhaps the island was once the peak of a mountain, back in pangaea (sp)... and the statue pieces are now where the foot of the mountain used to be, buried beneath all that silt and dirt and water.
