Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

VIDEO

Finally. People need to realize aliens aren’t the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

(via TumbleOn)

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”

Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it

And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video

Until I read the caption I thought the image was something else.

THE PLATYPUS (one of my favorite animals.)

Another one of my personal favorites is the story of the platypus and how the Aboriginal People told the Europeans of a creature with the “bill of a duck”, “body of a rat”, and a flat tail. This creature laid eggs but had fur, but do not anger it because it was poisonous.

Of course the Europeans totally dismissed this as “savage mysticism”, but LONG BEHOLD, one of the colonizers found one and couldn’t believe his eyes. Sent the dead body to Europe and got all praise for discovering an animal that already was discovered.

The huge stones for the pyramids were pulled across sand by pouring water on the sand in front of the stones so it was slippery
