Happy #RockinTuesday. To celebrate, here's a photo of the 15 #MoaiStatues at #AnuTongariki on #RapaNui Island (#EasterIsland). The largest display of Moai on the island, they are made primarily of volcanic tuff and were excavated at a nearby quarry (#RanoRaraku). #photography #geology #archaeology

How Easter Island’s Massive Moai Statues Actually “Walked” Themselves
Researchers have finally solved how the ancient people of Rapa Nui moved their massive moai statues across Easter Island. By combining physics, 3D modeling, and real-world experiments, scientists discovered...

"Analyzing nearly 1,000 moai statues, the scientists concluded that their unique shapes were designed to enable movement. They all share distinctive features that would allow them to be rocked from side to side, creating a walking motion."
