The Moai could “walk”.

“The physics makes sense. What we saw experimentally actually works and, as it gets bigger, it still works.

One can use a similar system oneself for anything that’s too heavy to lift. eg a fridge or washing machine. Two people makes it even easier. It’s one of the furniture removalists’ skills.

Ah, so hiding links in commas is SCIENCE’s latest little trick is it? :)

I wonder if that is how they transported the stones for Stonehenge from the other end of the country?

Huh!

I didn’t notice those commas. It’s not an easy colour to see, you see…

There had been a scientific article on Moai locomotion some time back. I searched “The Moai could “walk”.” to assist my recollection.

Unlikely to have moved the Scotland-sourced Stonehenge stone that way. Several hundred kilometres, a centimetre or so at a time seems inordinately slow. Even the fifty-odd km from Wales seems slow. Rollers and possibly boats seems far more probable to me.
