The Easter Island Moai statues actually have bodies, under the surface of the surrounding ground.



Which really makes me wonder what the hell that civilization used...to cart those megaliths from where the rock was quarried to where all those statues were placed. But that just plays into my own curiosity/conspiracy/paranoia.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

I thought they used log rollers like the Egyptians did for the pyramids.
Didn't know there were bodies either.

Read Kon Tiki, by Thor Heyerdahl. He went to Easter Island, and cajoled the natives into showing him how to move and set up one of those monoliths.

I did not either, seems the rest of it is bigger than what we were first amazed at. Obviously they knew about weather, wind force and so on. Incredible.

That along with the Coral Castle have always made me wonder.

I heard about this a wee while ago - it's really cool isn't it?

Just goes to show how we make so many wrong assumptions...

Sorry, not Kon Tiki - that was his voyage from Peru to Easter Island, on a raft made from materials that would have been available to the natives.. Aku Aku, Thor Heyerdahl's second book, is about finishing the cutting of one of the statues, transporting and erecting it.

That is incredible, I didn't know that either. Now how I am I going to explain how I found out LOL.

We're so advanced we still can't figure how the ancients did stuff

This just raises a few more questions.
