I mean...
Their hands are there. Oh, that hands, those crossed fingers. That is an interesting part.
They're in this pose, that crossed fingers, and then they're in that fertility pose where they're grabbing their crotch. Yeah. It's a very common – Again –
If there's one thing that humans have been doing forever is grabbing our dicks.
Yeah. But it is true that you see that on these monolithic statues of people. I mean, really, around the world, they are all grabbing themselves in a very similar fashion. Like even out in Micronesia and Indonesia, those – Those islands out there have those monoliths of people standing in that same pose. Those are more similar to the Easter Island heads.
Even though the Gobekli Tepe pillars are similar, they're just a lot different.
They're also related to the tiki doll that everybody's bought on their trip to Hawaii. That's a Polynesian thing.
easter island people got you know isolated separated and still with the their origins of their traditions turned this moai thing into a competition where there were oh there are over a thousand of them on the island only one quarry all the other all the villages would one up each other by ordering these moai and assembling them on the ahus in their villages have you seen the videos of them walking
Yep.
I think it's neat.
And that's actually people listening to them. And that happened the first time they walked them. I think his name is Pavel. Pavel was working with Thor Heyerdahl in the 60s or 70s. He asked the local people, well, how did they get there? And they said, well, they walked. And he's the first one to use the ropes. But then it was Hunt and Lippo.
who did a recreation, not on Easter Island, because Easter Island wouldn't let them. They did it in Hawaii, but they successfully, a couple of guys with ropes just wobbled them. I guess I can say now that I've made one-third of a map of the island for the Rapa Nui people. I intend to give it to them. The problem that I'm having is that the Their first cultural organization still there.
It's called Malhanua. But during COVID, everything went nuts and they kicked those guys completely out and stole the computers. And just like everything that I did for that first group is out and those guys are out. So now I have to like introduce myself to the new guys and pretend I never knew the old guys. So they let me continue making my map.
But I made one third of a map for them.
um and how do you go about making that map uh it was drone it was drone and photogrammetry oh wow thank you jeff and patrick and jim because i i don't know how to use that equipment but i have buddies who do oh cool so i was part of the archaeology part of it and they were the the drone experts and we made one third of the island but we made we we did the crater and
And we were not the first to see them, but we documented them again. Roads leading out from the crater, two different villages. And what was weird that we saw that I don't know whether anybody else saw. Along the roads there, we found, I guess, three fallen Moai who were intact. They weren't broken, but they're just laying on the roads between the quarry and a village.
And I don't know what happened. These are the roads that they say that they were walked down, that they made a prepared surface so it was nice and flat, and they just walked them from the quarry to the villages. But there's a couple of them that are just laying there on the side of the road, and it just, it's a head scratcher. Why wouldn't you just pick them up?
Is this a game where he tripped and that's it? He's not a Moai anymore? He's not broken. There's no reason why. How heavy are those things? Why wouldn't you move this thing? Oh, there are tons and tons. There are some small ones. There's a little white one on one edge of the island that's less than a ton. It's a couple hundred tons.
Did you know that there's one of them that's, most of them are basalt, right? Or am I wrong about that?
Definitely volcanic stone, but I don't know whether it's basalt or something else.
