Call it the mysterious island or "the island with head" or "the island with a particular name", the truth is that this island, not easily accessible by the man, has been wrapped in mystery for centuries . But not anymore. A group of archaeologists approached to find what could be the true story and origin of Easter Island. Buried deep under the ground, they found things that are at afarer.

Let's start with the head

Since ages, these old stone heads, known to us like Moai have confused people. For a long time, archaeologists have tried to find the origins of these constructions and understand why construction has stopped. This is one of these historical mysteries that still have to be resolved. What makes Moai's story more interesting is the location of the island on which they are.

Paro

Recently, archaeologists made a discovery of bizarre and innovative on the Easter Islands where are all these statues of Moai. The discovery involved the height of the heads of statues. Paro, the highest Moai is 10 m (33ft) tall and weighs 82 tons!
It is thought that the Moai has been on Chilean Polynesian Island since 1250 C.e.

A strange surprise inside

A team of archaeologists, part of the draft statue of Easter Island decided to excavate a large number of Rapa Nui statues. The excavation project has not gone in vain because archaeologists have made breathtaking discoveries on the history of these structures and their existence. In the excavated structures has been found a kind of red pigment and speculation are that it was this pigment that was used to paint Moai.

The brands have revealed everything

Some discoveries that the EISP made is a huish of mind. There was an intriguing relic found under one of the statues. Under the statue was a stone on which was a sculpture in the form of a croissant. It is thought that it is a symbol of a canoe or vaka (a boat). The statue with which this stone was found at petroglyphs (a prehistoric sculpture on a stone) written on it. Van Tilburg (the person who runs the project) and his team believed that these petroglyphs lengthened to the history of the statues.

Pushing 14 tons of concrete

Here is exactly how the Moai have been moved on the Easter Island for a long time mystery. There have been many theories about the same thing. One of them is that the statues could not have been displaced without human work and required at least the help of ropes among others. Another simplistic theory is that the newspapers were used to roll the Moai at the desired location. If these theories thought practically, each structure would have required a workforce of 50 to 100 people.

Can not move?

To test the validity of these theories, a Czech Pavel Pavel engineer and a Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl collaborated and built a moaai from scratch. They tied a rope around his head and another around the base, then with the help of 16 others that they tried to carefully move the statue. During the process, they discovered that regardless of the conscious, they causing the damage of the statue. So, the exercise ends for the day. In order not to damage the statue, they had to move it 330 feet a day.
