And not only that, but you see the same type of construction in it with that little block, which is exampled in Peru as well. You can also find that in that type of design, I guess you'd call it, in Egypt and different places as well. You know, so there's... And then I also found it really fascinating visiting the quarry. There, and we'll get into that. But the...
You know, these are massive blocks perfectly fitted together with precision placement and cuts and the same type of... You don't find... You know, any kind of deviation or break, just like in Peru. I mean, they're perfectly fitted together.

for the mo for the mo i for the statues to rest on and you know if you go around to the back side which i if this yeah this is my video um i do get around to the back side there eventually and there's collapsed statues and stuff there but um a lot of i don't seem the same level of precision in the statues as this wall right um

You know, you could argue that the statues are maybe more artistic or whatever in terms of their expression and how they were created. But there's a clear also evolution in the statues as well as far as that they've determined in dating, right? A lot of the older Moai are less defined, their features and different stuff like that. And then as the newer ones became more and more...

And it's like, why just this one spot? Well, you know... I think it's entirely possible that the that people from South America made their way over and crossed the ocean.

Yeah, I think, you know, we talked about it briefly last night. I think it's ridiculous to think that people that could create structures like this around the world, like that they were just incapable of trans-oceanic travel, that they were not capable of, like, making boats.

They had a clear understanding of astronomy, of their natural environment, and how to use it to a high level and degree of skill. So to think that they couldn't create boats and just sail across the ocean, you know, is just ridiculous in my opinion.
