Surfers gods on Rapanui!!! Maybe they are magnetic and used to push each others polar opposites.

I saw an episode on the History Channel where they used hot air balloons to raise an obelisk.

I don’t think that would work with the Baalbeck Monolith.

The key may lay with the mystery of Coral Castle and the strange machinery found there.

Here you are living on a tropical island and decide to spend your lives moving heavy rocks around. Real smart.

Canals? Could that explain why the “roads” were concave?

Ahhh... Jamaican bobsledders.

LOL!

They were pretty good you know. Considering. ;-)

[Ezekiel]

LOL but concave “roads” really does make it seem like they were either “bobsledding” those bad boys down the tracks, or putting them on slippy mats in a canal, as if they were sliding on water park chutes.

Now *that* would be a funny video, if someone took mock (foam) Easter Island dudes to a water park and sent them through the “rides”. Set to the music of the chipmunks “Witch Doctor”...

Heh, heh...if The Chipmunks were to do a music video, they should have you direct it!
