Summary:
- Researchers have long been puzzled by how the massive stone statues on Easter Island were moved to their current locations, as the island has no large animals or advanced technology that could have easily transported them.
- A new study suggests that the statues may have "walked" to their present positions by rocking back and forth, using a method known as "walking" that was likely used by the ancient islanders.
- This discovery provides important insights into the engineering and construction techniques used by the Easter Island civilization, and helps to solve the mystery of how these impressive monuments were moved without the use of modern machinery.
