Gods Graves Glyphs

Thanks decimon and fanfan.
Gosh, I'll bet their next discovery will be that the statues *didn't* have a ceremonial function, but were erected to hold up the roof that used to cover the entire island. ;')
As soon as these "researchers" cut one out of the quarry with stone tools, roll it across the landscape, and put it on its base, without the use of machinery, they'll have something significant to contribute to whether or not the roads were used for moving them. Until then, they really need to shut up. IMHO of course.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
GGG managers are SunkenCiv, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach

Easter Island statue lying beside 'road' - were the statues easier to move along a deliberately rock-scattered surface?

Take the road? Nah, that's way too easy.
