1. Why don't you use please the INTERNATIONAL METRIC MEASURES in the clip? Meters, tons of kilograms etc., NOT feet and the like. It's more precise, logic, simple, and... international. Thank you.
2. hey did Easter island have easter egg and easter rabbit???
3. Umm... think they just built them on the platform?😐
4. "Standing on the shoulders of Giants"
5. I feel that in order to stay coordinated while walking some drumming and/or chanting was involved.
6. Mankind you will never be able to figure out most of our ancestors craft ...You are evil THE GODS ARE IN CONTROL....leave the island alone
7. we only think and comprehend in our lifetime and because we know they didn't have our tools and ways we find it very difficult to understand how they did it, we almost glorify ourselves in thinking we are smarter than they where, I mean these people had the same logic maybe not the wealth of literature but still fkn smart enough.
8. I think they used these statues to scare away new voyagers
9. yes at last I felt that they walk.. appreciate your effort
10. A Moai baby, how cute!
11. Should re-plant the trees
12. put two stones underneath it. and every time you turn it. It moves the distance between the two stones. it's rather simple !

15. That is so creepy
16. What a waist of money and time to support an insane idea.
17. it's so cool!
18. Awesome Great Job!
19. Why are they so sure theres always exactly one way ancient civilization got things done? For example how these stone tools where used and ofc how the statues were moved. Maybe they moved the statues in dozens of different ways, maybe even by using wooden frameworks no one will ever find intact, gradually increasing their efficiency by developing new ideas and also depending on the destination. I had to laugh at those 20 men trying to move a statue in the most ridiculous way possible - by holding it with only 2 ropes from the back. Why would you ever risk letting it tip over when carving such a thing would take a year or more? It's far more efficient to hold and pull from 4 sides, and also much safer. I think a more reasonable approach would be to think of the easiest and safest ways possible and THEN try to figure out how that fits the evidence instead of the other way around... They are way too confident of their theories.
20. so what about the thumbnail?
