Scientists solved mystery of how Easter Island statues were moved

Scientists solved mystery of how Easter Island statues were moved. Using a combination of 3D modelling and real-life experiments, scientists have confirmed that the statues actually 'walked' to their final destinations. After studying nearly 1,000 of the heads - known as moai - anthropologists found that the people of Rapa Nui likely used ropes to rock the statues in a zig-zag pattern.
