Could this be how the mysterious statues at Easter Island came to be?
Scientists think they may have solved the age-old puzzle of how the massive Easter Island statues traveled from the quarry where they were crated to their positions around the island.
In the video below, the statues “walk,” with a little help from some humans.
The scientists came up with this theory after realizing that the massive 33-foot-tall statues were designed to rock along on their front edge.
Even so, many still think something spiritual was behind the movement of the statues. Besides, this does nothing to explain the statues that are 20-feet tall that have full bodies that are half-way buried. Still, it’s an interesting theory.
“The experts can say whatever they want,” says one local. “But we know the truth. The statues walked.”
Take a look below and decide for yourself.
