Giant Ancient Sculptures on Easter Island
One of the unanswered questions bewildering modern scientists about Easter Island is how the giant statues got from A to B. The truth is the were carved and transported by extraterrestrials who were connected to the ancient civilization of Atlantis.
One of the astonishing facts that continues to confuse scientists about the stone statues or moai of Easter Island is that all of them came from the same quarry, known as Rano Raraku. Of the 887 statues known to exist on the island, 397 of them are still in Rano Raraku and 288 are known to have made it to their final destination: the ahus or platforms that were built to support them. But one of the biggest riddles confounding modern scientists about Easter Island is how the statues 'traveled' from the quarry to their platforms or ahus, sometimes as far as 20 or 25 kilometers away?

In every place on the Earth where huge megalithic pieces of statues or stones were transported, the explanation of how they were moved always involves the use of logs and ropes and a lot of people. But that just doesn't fit the Easter Island picture. After all, there are only rolling hills and virtually no trees.
