Carl Lipo, Professor at Binghamton University, and Terry Hunt, Professor at the University of Arizona, delve into the mystery of Easter Island's iconic moai statues. Forget aliens—these giants may have 'walked' into place using ropes! They discuss evidence that the statues were transported upright, utilizing a pendulum-like motion. Their innovative research counters traditional theories, showcasing the ingenuity of the Rapa Nui people. With practical experiments backing their findings, Lipo and Hunt reveal a fascinating glimpse into the engineering marvels of ancient Polynesia.
