Easter Island statues walked into place? Maybe this is how.

in #history7 years ago (edited)

The indigenous people of Easter Island have a oral tradition that says the Moai statues walked them selves to where they stand now. I have seen documentaries and experiments all trying to mimic or reproduce moving these monoliths, some successful some not.

This may be the best explanation I have seen to how the Moai were possibly moved. all you have to do is scale it up and it seems like it would work.

That is correct. They are finding that a ton of them are way bigger than previously thought.

Thanks for sharing that link! That guy has some straight up skill and understanding. Pretty impressive.
