The empty eyes were filled with lighter colored coral shaped like eyes. One of the more fascinating things about them is the statues were fashioned to look into the island and not out to sea. This leads anthropologists to believe that they were ancestor totems set to look upon their progeny.
They also know who they were created by. The Rapa Nui Society created the statues.
Here is a site that will tell you about the creation of the statues and the Rapa Nuis:

I thought it had been concluded that the natives didn't have the technology to move such large rocks. I'll conced if I'm wrong and change the analogy to Stonehenge, but that was my understanding.
