We now know how the giant Easter Island statues got to where they are. Kinda. [Not Quite Bigfoot]

By -

Researchers think they may have finally figured it out how the giant Moia statues on Easter Island made it to their sacred spot. Spoiler: It has nothing to do with UFOs. According to a National Geographic/NOVA special, Terry Hunt and Carl Lipo believe the statues may have been "walked" there using ropes.

    That is amazing! I always think it is neat when things like that are theorized and tested. Looks like it could be a valid theory

    It makes me crazy people are still saying we dont know how they done it.
    Im from the Czech republic. We have an engineer there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Pavel), that was fascinated with ancient cultures and the way they sailed and buil the monuments. He has uncovered the exact way the ancient people moved the statues. IT WAS SOLVED already by Pavel Pavel in 70s. End of story. All czech republic knows about it, hes famous here. But you still see people say "we dont know how the statues got there, its imposible". Makes me crazy :D

    "Inspired by Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki, Pavel Pavel set out to demonstrate how the monolithic Moai of Easter Island might have been moved into place by a small number of people using only rudimentary technologies. He conducted a practice experiment in 1982 in south Bohemia using a concrete model (4.5 m, 12 tonnes). In 1986 he was invited by Heyerdahl to Easter Island to test his experiment in its actual setting, where he successfully replicated the experiment. Only 16 people with one leader were needed for relatively fast statue transportation. [2]"

    He then performed some further experiments. He and five assistants using only wooden sledges erected and moved a 30-ton rocking stone at the village of Kadov (in Strakonice District) to its original location, from where it had been removed by unknown vandals in the 19th century. [3] He estimated that only 160 people with similar simple technology would have been necessary for transportation of the 800 ton stones in Baalbek.

    There are many statues on Easter Island that are full body, this doesn't explain those.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
