the eastern island statues were cast not carved.

That's why there are so many of them. They created a mold. Tuff rock melts at a low temperature and is used for casting stuff today...They were probably made by alchemists. The symbols on the back are egyptian relating to alchemy. you can see the stuff the mauri scribbled that looks like childrens writting but the nice looking symbols are egyptians.

edit: they probably didn't melt the tuff rock. maybe they dissolved it in an acid and then poured it into a mould and then it hardned.

They would have had many centuries to develop new techniques but I think you're right about them using a mold. I've read that the language on carvings found on Easter Island is related to no known language but is somewhat related to the writing found in Mohenjo-Daro.

Now I'm reading America Before by Graham Hancock. I bet you'd like it. His earlier books have been building up to this theory of his.

I don't know about Easter Island, I believe there is an unfinished statue in a mine on the island. But in Peru, seems to me that they probably were living close to live volcanos, and could have developed techniques to direct hot lava from an active volcano into forms to cast the megalithic stones for their walls. We have techniques for smelting and casting metal, could similar techniques for managing lava be possible ?

i think those laying on the ground might be imiations that they tried to make. they saw all these 100s of statues and wanted to imitate it.. like when you see a drawing when you are little and try to copy it lol...do people still do that with the internet?

"According to the tradition, Tai Hare Atua is the work of Miru A’Hotu and Tangi Teako A’Hotu, who carved this first moai when they started working in the quarries, but when they saw the poor result they left it lying."

I hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks

We have unfinished walls in various stages in Peru. It's clear the blocks were carved on site to fit each other. No mystery there.

They paid their taxes in labour so the time it took to do this wasn't an issue. And there was a purpose to it, such walls stood up better during earthquakes.

Clear to you. How do you know?

I believe that would be extremely difficult with modern tech.

If you had a volcano that was predictable, so you knew where the lava was going to flow, you put your forms in its path and wait. Maybe the forms are made from something like plywood sheets that end up getting burnt completely, but leave blocks that fit snugly along that space where the plywood was before. Maybe the dimples on so many of the blocks are where there was a vent in the form allowing air to escape so the form fills completely.

A lot of these stones are basalt, which is volcanic.

Also check the geopolymers option.

An ancient form of concrete. There is also the chemical weakening of stones.

wow the pyramids being made of something like that makes sense. that would be so easy to make that way. no aliens needed lol... dang freemasons are like no way you can't do that! all the building codes were setup for the brick industry and timber industry.

oh also "there exists on the island megalithic megaton mortarless walls made with an ancient high technology to where you can’t even fit a human hair between the stones. This antediluvian ancient technology confounds today’s experts and defies our greatest modern engineering." yepp the people jumping around yelling and eating each other did that...

Personally, I think that people at the time of the last ice-age (12,000 years ago) have created these great buildings.
These buildings all line up perfectly around the equator, and many of them resemble celestial constellations (like Giza resembles Orion).
Graham Hancock gives some great examples, but there are more doing that work.

And many years after they were gone, new tribes build structures on top of them or claimed them. Like the Baal temple in Lebanon, where Romans build on top of another structure. Or the great Pyramid that was claimed by a Pharaoh. This went on for several generations, but we only know a few of them.

My theory is the ancestors of those who arrived on Easter Island were once the inhabitants of Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus Valley (but before that maybe Egypt, based on the Thoth symbols), then Angkor, Cambodia. After a stay on the coast of Vietnam, they started island hopping. Now that took a long time but the goal was imbedded in their Priest Class. I don't necessarily see this as a conspiracy though. Maybe we need a new sub.

that type of rock is not native to that island. so they would have had to bring 100 plus ton stones on a boat. none of those cultures possesesed that type of ship to bring a stone that big. and that many of them.

It's hard to know what tools they had. Time erases everything. Only the sturdiest, simplest things last.

What about the female basalt moai?

Basalt is an insanely durable material.

[–]iraelmossadreddit[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

basalt can be cast too... might be some sort of basalt composite not sure how the would carve basalt with their basalt tools

Sounds magical.

Well that's better than the aliens carved them explanation I suppose.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

they carved em, then slowly kind of cinched em to their places with ropes

some tipped over during this and they had no way of getting them right side up

[–]iraelmossadreddit[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

they also put a 10 ton red "hat" on top of an 80 ton 33 foot statue plus the hidden stone stake under the base. isn't it weird there were red head mummies at the other site with similar statues...maybe it isn't a hat but red hair... there are also ancient red hair mummies found in weird places in south america and north america
