Parbuckling is an ancient and efficient technique for rolling cylindrical objects. The center of a long rope is fixed to the top of a ramp and the two trailing ends are wrapped around the cylinder to be moved.

Now they should research the technology of the ropes.
Ah, thank you
I spend too much time on the Internet. This came out weeks ago.
Finally: proof that ancient astronauts used parbuckling!
It took a lot of stones to get the job done
No. They did eat fish. They used the trees to make large rafts to go deep sea fishing. And they used trees to roll the statues around on the ground. Eventually, they had chopped down all of the trees and could no longer go deep sea fishing. Their economy collasped. When the white men arrived the natives were already close to starvation and were fighting amounst themselves. Reminder for the future. Always re-plant trees after the harvest of mature trees. Keep making more trees. Replinish the resource.
It is rayciss of you to enforce your white, Eurocentric values on those peace loving cannibals.
As an aide, I am currently trying to make an Easter Island head out of Legos for my kid. It is not as easy as I thought.
