Researchers Terry Hunt and Carl Lipo test a new theory that suggests how ancient Easter Islanders may have used ropes to "walk" the moai to their platforms.

    Ancient Aliens is a big liar, they made tons of money and the show disappeared like all the other shitty Alien shows on History channel.

    They are trying to say that our ancestors were basically monkeys who had no idea how to move stones around, so it makes much more logical sense that aliens helped primitive humans move a bunch of rocks around.

    FUCK ANCIENT ALIENS.

    The whole fucking show is based on Erich Von Danikan's book "Chariots of the Gods". There is no evidence, there is only theories and speculation.

    A wheel within a wheel is not a UFO. It is just a wheel with a round rim. As debunked in the video "Ancient Aliens debunked".

    No radiation was found nor were those mud brick houses ever knocked down and those corpses were centuries apart.

    You should do more research.

    mercanaries, I cant comment on that specific TV show but I'd highly suggest you read a book called Chariot of the Gods. It really will open your eyes to alot of the bible references to spaceships and nuclear bombs. like ezekiel seeing a "wheel within a wheel" and lots wife being turned into a pillar of salt (disintegrated). The bible is chock full of extra terrestrial evidence.

    The stone(s) were quarried from the volcanoes, google sat maps in and see the whole side of the main one is exposed and directly in front near the shore are the platforms, the moai on ceremonial platforms are stout and could have been made to walk, the buried moai I think are too elongated (and heavy) to be made to walk. Maybe its a reminder that some were survivors (plaform moai) of the great "Biblical" flood and the buried moai are symbols of the ancestors who didn't make it and perished.
