Imagine the frustration of the short guy in finding his speech on RUclips, reading the comments, and seeing that people seem to be more concerned with his delivery than the quality of his research and the huge effort and ingenuity he and his colleague have exerted for years.
Give the poor guy a break. He probably wants to be up on that stage less than anybody, but it's part of the job.
AND GOT IT ALL SOOOO SOOOOO WRONG IN THE END.
You know what's really nice? Even though so many "intellectual" groups like Discovery or History have devolved into reruns of swamp loggers or crab fishing, National Geographic still delivers high quality entertainment that kick-starts higher brain functions.
Thank you for staying true to intellectual integrity, guys.
I am from the year 2020. Nat Geo now has shows about tuna fishers. Good Day.
I am from the year 2021. I've got nothing else to say. Good Day.
I am from 2023, I don't watch NatGeo anymore. Good day
THATS NICE
I love to read the comments from all the experts here.
they aren't crazier than the 'experts' in the video
But you knew that
If those guys came to India and watched our Cart-Festival at Puri,Odisha then they would have understood this logic a long long back..How people moved Jagannath - Subhadra - Balabhadra Statues from inside of the temple to outside and climbed them to their vehicles...all these concepts they might have resolved so easily.
pure horse sh**!
Awesome video. I had the pleasure of meeting Terry Hunt at my friends house. He is an awesome man.
Superb documentary and lecture!
National Geographic did a show how a group of men with ropes were able to rock and walk the statures.
Interesting if the people that arrived there were then literally stuck since the trees there were not useful for making good canoes or other sea going craft, at least initially. But I am sure that as the years went on, some other peoples arrived with newer craft.
Why so many statues? Every year, the different tribes would compete to select a big man. The first youth of each tribe to bring back a frigate bird egg from the seasonal nesting grounds would win his chief the right to lead the island. This feat would be commemorated by a statue. Imagine one new statue a year for 400-500 years. Then there were ancestral statues and other monuments that each tribe would carve as longterm projects (or just to keep in shape). That's why there are over 1,000.
Certainly plausible. Once you get it moving, angular momentum and linear momentum just need to be nudged around here and there. Taller statues will be a lot more unstable though and will require more care in moving and probably have a greater chance of falling down while being moved. Apparently there are many statues along the road from the quarry to the posting sites which could indicate fallen statues. And others that may have fallen, well, certainly could be broken and chopped up to leave a clean path.
Fascinating!
Personally, the statues were for both human an spiritual needs...surrounded the island by such monuments provided a secured feel for the lives there...
Thor Heyerdahl would have been so surprised!!
yes
1,000,000 years from now man will ponder what ceremony that hair piece was used in.
No one knows the masages behind moai statue. But the families of Maya's king know what happened. Today, them still hide, no one! But it's so simply for who 's the families of the King.😀😀😀
"They walked of themselves..."
daghanag EXPERTO diris Comments section oh. haha
Why do people always talk about humans throughout history as if they were an extremely sophisticated, religious group conducting highly intelligent experiments? This specific story is arguably one of the most pointless feats that humans accomplished in history. This was probably no more than a group of uneducated humans that were obsessed with making statues. Nothing more than that. Just an obsession. Yet here we are trying to put reason to something that has no reason. Modern day geniuses are referred to as clinically insane humans with mental disabilities - Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Vincent Van Gogh ect. Why would we think that previous civilizations were any more (or less) crazy than modern day humans? In fact, I would argue that they were far behind with their mental capability to problem solve, organize, and accomplish basic every-day tasks. (Hence why they completely ruined their island while building completely pointless statues.) These statues have no ties to the stars, sun, moon, time or anything that would dub it religious, let alone sophisticated. Huge waste of time and resources.
So you mean the war never happened ???
Will they come to life?
Just goes to show .. No matter how Mutch or little land you give a human .. He will destroy it along with himself ..and booths beauty. !
So, they didn't destroy themselves?
28:00 Sounds a bit like permaculture.

What a stupid beginning. I'm listening thinking he's telling true facts, then dudes just like..."Is this what really happened?". After 5 minutes of me thinking I'm learning stuff.
I believe the statues on Easter Island were built with cement concrete, not carved from stones. My belief is easy to verify. We just cut a few pieces from the statues and taste them with our tongue whether there is a salty flavor; or analyze them whether there are marine lives and human hairs in the samples.
Is the dude on the left wearing a rug?
guy on the left looks like the statue
I know the truth
I hate the guy with glasses choice of words
Source?
Covid 1? Kinda lol
hehe... i'm late??

if the european found it in the 18th centry then that would be it. the european
eliminated them like the Native american Indian and the australian Aubergines
How do we know the Europeans didn't kill them off?
Narrators remove the joy and wonder from story of Easter Island
I do not remember. it was an experiment. even if you watch things like this on tv, you do not use your brain. the best thing to do to improve your brain is to move your body like you never moved before or learn things from books. if you read books you have to imagine everything, so you use much more parts of your brain. and coordinating your muscles while moving is a hard work for your brain too.
wow congrats!! you are first.. want a cookies..
3rd. lol
Very interesting information, not as interesting as usual Nat Geo Programs.
You know what sucks? When you get to witness the transitioning point between when a group like NatGeo turns into a pile of shit... I take back my original comment.
Carl Lipo stutters so much it pisses me off
Unfortunately, now Nat Geo is turning into same trash with 'murican fishers... We want Nat Geo back!
The short guy is frustrating to listen to. He's reading 'word for word', and rarely looks up. You'd think he would have some 'speech' skills. At least the tall guy knows how to speak. But still, they both seem to have not done their homework. Great subject nevertheless.
actually watching something will cause lower brain functions.
failed
These guys so know nothing of what they are talking about the have to READ their speech.
Say something smart then
National Geographic's demented and lying Bilderberger-controlled view of history sucks.
Your not adding any info yourself
