The Placement of the Easter Island Heads is an Impossible Mystery

Most likely, you have heard of the well-known Moai, or heads, that can be seen all across Easter Island. The sculptures are massive creations made of tons of extremely heavy rock, yet the ancient people moved them over extraordinarily great distances to set them on the shore and throughout the island without using any kind of sophisticated technology.

For a very long time, it was believed that we just did not understand how they managed to do it. Some saw this as evidence that it wasn't just simple tools being used, but rather some form of advanced technology. Of course, it didn't take long for conspiracy theorists to assert that it was the product of prehistoric alien visitors after people began to speculate about aliens utilizing techniques other than simple ones.

However, new research by enthusiastic archaeologists has produced compelling proof as to how they actually accomplished it, and it didn't call for any sophisticated technology at all. The sculptures were intentionally made to be carried across great distances, according to the scientists who have been studying them. Even though it might seem ludicrous, the archaeologists were able to demonstrate their idea in action.

They were able to transport a five-ton duplicate of one of the statues several hundred meters in a short amount of time with the help of 18 people using only ropes. Since we weren't present to see how they accomplished it, we can't say for sure, but it's obvious that the task could be completed without sophisticated technology.
