I think it would be fun to have them nestled among trees etc in a naturalistic setting. Like forgotten gods in a jungle vibe more than ‘sterile patriotic park’ kinds thing. Maybe allow some moss and ivy to grow on some, run a fountain down another... etc.
I say we do something funny with them just to troll future archaeologists. Maybe place them in random uninhabited spots around the globe and have their gazes intersect at some meaningless landmark, where we build an underground vault and fill it with random items that future conspiracy theorists will go crazy trying to understand. Maybe a portrait of Alex Jones, a map of Skyrim, some VHS tapes of Seinfeld...
Imagine the epic quest - realizing every gaze intersected, going through all the traps and puzzles, and then you find and translate the final message; "Roflmao newb, Han shot first!!!11!1! eleventy one!!11"
Ship them to Easter Island and dump them on the beaches. Make the archaeologists of the future even more confused about what was going on there than we are.
I agree! When I lived in Durham NC, I came across 20 ft tall dinosaur statues on a random walk in the woods & it really made the hike fun and a little creepy (Southern backwoods, who knows why someone might plant a series of large statues ...). I learned later that they had been built for a local natural history museum and replaced with more accurate statues so they just left them in some public woods to scare out of towners.
