ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAVE FOUND SOMETHING STRANGE ON THE EASTER ISLAND, A PLACE ALREADY BRIMMING WITH MYSTERIES

Impossible To Move?

Easter Island 35

To test the validity of these theories a Czech engineer Pavel Pavel and a Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl collaborated and constructed a Moai from scratch. They tied one rope around its head and another around the base and then with the help of 16 other people they tried to cautiously move the statue. In the process, they found out that no matter how conscious they were, they were causing the statue some damage. So the exercise came to an end for the day. In order to not damage the statue, they had to move it 330 ft per day.
