Easter Island, ping. A few typos.
‘‘Initially, the Polynesians built the moai out of various types of local stone, including the Puna Pau scoria, but between 12000 to 13000 AD Puna Pau switched from producing statues to hats.’

OK, they were rolled down the hill.

Build a dirt ramp ,roll hat up ramp;haul dirt away.
Big circle of Polynesians stand around hat chanting "strong as stone,light as a feather",each using one finger of each hand to magically lift hat.
