Given the state of modern technology and machinery, if we asked the best scientists and engineers to rebuild the Pyramids without using modern technology and heavy equipment could they do it ??

That doesn’t solve the fundamental mystery: Why did they do it?

The same people who built the statues and built the polygonal masonry on the island. Obviously the Inca!

A giant bunny. The baskets probably just rotted away.

Thanks Moltke. Hope you're having a great T-giving.

BTW, all, the construction by individual clans was known by the islanders themselves, and the information gathered in the 1950s by anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl, and appears in Aku-Aku.

What proof would exist of such an advanced civilization?

The only thing that would survive the ravages of time would be huge stone structures, which is exactly what we see today.
