Who do you think built the Easter Island statues? Why? How?
I think Easter Island statues were first carved in a volcanic crater and then transported and erected on ground by Polynesian population.
I think the islanders using different transport methods to move the moai, maybe walking by pulling it side to side with three hemp ropes - one tied to the back to stop it dropping face-first and two on either side.

Why Polynesian population built the Easter Island statues? I only have a theory. I think that statues were a sign to warn foreign sailors that the island was living by humans.
Would you like to visit Easter Island? Why/Why not?
Yes I would like to visit Easter Island because it’s the world’s most remote inhabited island and it’s famous for its enormous stone statutes that have an incredible history.
What is the most remote place you have been to? How did you get there? Why did you go? What was it like?
Five years ago I was going to Costa Rica. In the middle of the island there is a remote place where there are many volcanic craters.
You required five hours by car (4x4 ) from the nearest town. Sometimes the road disappears into the jungle and it’s impossible you have covertures on your mobile.
I was go there because I lovely remote places.
