    One of the issues I find with a lot of these theories that involve moving large stone objects that people tend to forget that these people didn't have lives like we have today. There was no 'time' limit on completing a project, it was more of when it got done, it was done.
    Not everything had a set dead line, and one statue may have taken a year or two to move, even more, I'm sure they didn't have anything else to do.

    Remember, the islanders have a very specific term invented to describe this type of walking, and they are synonym to the type of walking people with fully amputated legs have done.
    This is similar to how Asians have many terms describing rice and the state on how it is cooked, Greek have 3 terms to describe a type of love, and how Aramaic and Hebrew have many terms just to skirt around the religious restriction about using their God's name.
    That should be enough to tell everything, but, oh well, 'aliens', right?

    My theory on how theses statues were moved is that they used beeswax. After cutting them out of the quarry they left a vein at the back and inserted it onto a tract like pathway made from Palm leaves saturated with beeswax thus a cushioned frictionless surface. To onlookers at the base of the mountain it would appear like the statues were walking. Once down on more level ground they moved them by strapping on compressed beeswax slabs under the angled front base to move them to the platforms. The rock theses statues were carved from were volcanic and quite porous therefore absorbable to the beeswax. They simply slid these enormous statues around effortlessly. Once in place they carved off the back veins and levelled the bases.

    They said some of the symbols carved on the backs was half moon symbol that meaning is a sign of fertility, related to life and death, and thus a popular symbol in many religions. It pinpoints changing seasons, ebb and tide (and related inundations as harbingers of fertility), and the feminine menstrual cycle. If you notice some of the statues look like they are holding it's stomach 😳

    If the visiting giants were the same size as the statues. If they came to earth from a place where gravity was much greater than ours, would they not move these statues with ease? We have walked on the moon !

  • @MatthewChenault

    The last method is most likely answer to the question due to one, critical factor: manpower.
    Rapa’Nui only had a limited population, meaning that the most manpower and resource-efficient fashion for moving the stones would be needed. This was best done with the final method, which used few resources and required only a small amount of manpower relative to the other methods (some requiring 100+ people to move a smaller stone).

    @rolandmagiera3728 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The last theory looks good but if one try to move a 75 tons statue in that way, I afraid, it will sink slowly into the ground. Remember, they had to move 75 tons concentrated on a small diameter of 5-20 inches!
    In Germany a truck with a large power-plant-turbine had a malfunction and the load was set on a modern, bituminized road (highway qualitiy). A few hours later the leading engineer was informed, that the container with the turbine was sunk more than a half meter into the road by its own weight. One or two hours later and it would have been impossible to lift up the container!

      +ben nichols Interesting... just guessing here, is it easier to deal with larger objects because they overwhelm the obstacles in their path? In my own experience of clearing small trees and shrubs from land, the big stuff just crushes its way through the landscape, whereas smaller stuff gets entangled with those same obstacles. But it's harder to see how this applies to the Moai, since the primary resistance they encounter is the friction which is directly proportional to their own mass. Elaborate if you wish.

    I can imagine how difficult it must be for some scientists to discover the way the ancient people moved the Moai 500 years ago if they cannot properly describe the way Pavel Pavel moved Moai only 40 years ago :-(

      Danny Gio Look for pictures of the easter island quarry. They were carved exactly the same way that other structures in the world like the unfinished obelisk at aswan egypt and obelisk at baalbek lebanon. Machining was involved. and advanced techology.

    • @XxDannyGioxX

      elTeknoo I meant what tools were used, stone ? The amount of time and effort that went into to those statues, for what purpose? We don't even know because the hieroglyphics weren't even deciphered

    • @XxDannyGioxX

      Just saw the bottom part now , there was no "advanced" machining when they were made

    • @teknotiksB
      @teknotiksB 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      look up videos of acient structures like the unfinished obelisk at aswan. youll notice scoop marks. Baalbek lebanon same fashion. then look at the quarry for the moai. same technology was applied. look up magnetic stones on eastern island on youtube. they could alter magnetic fields of stones. same for puma punku. we are talking about technology we dont even posses today. lost technology. Do research on your own and then come to a conclusion. Do just believe what some man wrote on a book 100 years ago.

    Very nice movie. It is only shame, that it´s not fully right. Pavel Pavel have moved the statues allmost the same style like the two scientists in 2011, only 25 years earlier. He was not pulling the statues as it is showed here, he was swinging them. Only the ropes were, like it is showed - one on the top (which made the statue swing) and one lower (to make it "go" forward). The only "upgrade" of the 2011 are the three ropes on top.
    So you can aplaud to Hunt and Lipo, but they only partly upgraded the invention of Pavel Pavel (Thor Heyerdahl was paying and managing the whole expedition in 1986).

    • @MrNateSPF

      It is probably BS that they dragged them around on trees, as the island had an erosion problem due to a lack of trees. Scraps from the carving (basically gravel and various sized rock) were used to make the loose land livable. Then if you think about it... they lined the shores with these huge, heavy statues. Then notice how the land built up around the statues instead of eroding away.

      you are right - get the book from Amazon called Aku Aku by Thor Heyerdal - it contains the coloured photos taken back in 1955 of the descendants moving, & standing the statues. Heyerdahl did not put forward a theory as mentioned here - he didn't need to.

    The Moai were created by the same people that looked just like them.... in ancient scripts there is a mentioned of this island the they called it "The Giant Island". These were mere mirror statues of these giant people in those times! They also knew like most of all ancient civilizations in ancient times how to levitate megalithic stones using reverse polarity and super high wave sounds as these are amazing simple pure Natural energy/technology!

    I believe those archaeologists were on the wrong track. Instead of assuming that people had transported the statues, we should assume that the statues were built on the spot with cement which could be made with the volcanic ash available on the island. To verify the cement idea, we just cut a few slices of the material from the statue and analyze them under an electronic magnifying glass to find whether there are traces of marine lives and human hair, or whether they have salt.
