Moving the Moai Statues

The video explores the mystery of how the Moai statues on Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, were moved. While some believe aliens were involved, scientists propose various theories. Thor Heyerdahl suggested dragging them on tree trunks, while William Malloy theorized a V-shaped frame. Pavel Pavel and Charles Love introduced twisting and rolling methods. In 2011, Terry Hunt and Carl Lippo tested a new approach, using a team to 'walk' a statue, which was successful. Despite no definitive answer, these theories offer insights into this ancient mystery.
