The E Islanders moved those sculptures during the night, singing, In the midnight hour, moai, moai, moai.
Seriously, Thor Heyerdahl’s “Aku Aku” is worth reading. The nimmies who badmouth him clearly haven’t read it, or don’t remember it very well, because they never have any coherent criticism of it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I read "Kon Tiki" a few years ago and thought it was a very good book.
