Oral histories of the easter island heads suggest that divine power was used to make the statues walk. t/f

TRUE

Explanation:

  The moais are the huge stone statues erected on Easter Island for religious purposes. Surrounded by mysteries, the island, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (more precisely 3,706 km off the Chilean coast), instigates the imagination of scientists and visitors to unravel the mystery of the huge stone statues.

    The sculptures were carved from porous limestone of volcanic origin known as tufts. They were carved essentially between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, and are five to seven meters high. It is believed that by the eighteenth century, when inhabitants of Europe crossed Easter Island, these moais had already been destroyed after a confrontation between the Rapanuis.

    The most widespread thesis is that the islanders transported the moais by unstable and circular movements, just as a refrigerator is carried. Another hypothesis assumes that the statues were transferred horizontally over palm oiled woody stems.

   Some myths claim that Polynesian priests used the spiritual power of mana, sacred force, to gradually move the moais, a few daily steps. Oral culture goes further, arguing that the statues were capable of walking on their own.
