Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.
Finally. People need to realize aliens aren’t the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”
NATIVE/POC CIVILIZATIONS WERE GENERALLY SPEAKING WAY SMARTER THAN WE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR.
I MEAN SHIT, ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AT LARGE WERE GENERALLY SPEAKING WAY SMARTER THAN WE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR. STONEHENGE EXISTS KIDDOS, AND THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT WITH SUCH PRECISION THAT WE CAN’T REPLICATE IT, AND THE GRAND SWEEPING TEMPLES OF ANCIENT CHINA OR JAPAN WERE BUILT WITHOUT MODERN ‘INGENUITY’, AND THE INCAN AND MAYAN AND AZTEC STEP PYRAMIDS WERE A GODDAMN MARVEL, AND THE ANCIENT GREEKS CALCULATED THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH, AND THE EASTER ISLAND HEADS ABSOLUTELY WERE PUT IN PLACE BY THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE. THE HUMAN RACE IS AWESOME AND WE CAN DO REALLY FUCKING SPECTACULAR THINGS WHEN WE TAKE TWENTY MINUTES TO STOP SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER.
