Although there was an opinion that no less than 20,000 people lived in that island, but how was food obtained when there was almost no arable land? The rocky mountain from which the 90-ton moai statues were cut out is in the inland as far as 6-8 km away from the seaside. Furthermore, it is necessary to go down an about 100-meter cliff while carrying a moai statue to the seashore. Moreover, the intensity of a rope and the problem of length which are used when pulling or raising a moai statue are left behind. http://slicer93.mbsrv.net/88-1039.html
