Most of us know of the giant heads that have been built on the tiny Easter Island for reasons unknown. Observations show that the tiny island could not have supported more than 2000 men, yet building those huge heads out of a singular block of stone and transporting them would have required much more than 2000 men. Not only that, but these men had to be fed, ropes prepared, rollers and what not. What's more, is that on the island, peculiar hats for these heads were also found prepared at another quarry. Why was the place suddenly abandoned?
The intervention of Extraterrestrials - the most infamous of these writers is Erich Von Daniken who suggests that a small group of 'intelligent beings' were stranded there and taught the natives to make 'robot-like' statues. His main thrust is that the stone from which the statues are made is not found on the island- a complete fabrication. This links with theories that Easter island was once part of the lost civilization of flying machines.
In The Space Gods Revealed, Erik Von Daniken put forth the theory that bored space aliens created the statues. Neither theory is substantiated by the archaeological evidence although perhaps the NOVA team who attempted to erect a statue using only the tools a native inhabitant would have, might have welcomed some outside help. Read their story in Secrets of Easter Island. All the moais now standing were re-erected over the last decades.
