Many people have heard about the Moai, the beautiful stone statues that you can see looking out at the ocean on Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

The people who made them only used hand toolsthe evidence of this is the many old tools which archaeologists have found all over the island. Archaeologists believe that it must have taken about a year to make each statue, which five or six men working on it. But it is much more difficult to explain how these people moved these heavy stones across the island into their final places. Most people believe that people couldn’t have carried them by hand. The largest stones are nearly ten meters long and weigh about 18.000 kilograms!
Professor Carl Jeffrey says, “The people must have had some ways of moving these stones. Some archaeologists think they might pull the stones across the island. But the stones were so heavy; it must have taken between 180 and 250 men to pull each one. But the mystery doesn’t end there. The statues all sit on other stones called Abu. So the people must have put these large stones onto it. Archaeologists can’t give a clear explanation of how it happened.
