    Educational lens! I have linked to it from my lens on Tiki Culture. Congrats on a great job!

    In the Kon Tiki museum in Oslo they have interesting films showing the theory how the statues "walked" across the island. The idea comes from old, traditional songs I think.

    Great lens. Did you read Thor Heyerdahl's book about them?
    Here in Canada we have something similar, just much simpler - inukshuks

    Oh yes, I remember learning about Inukshuks when the winter Olympics were being held in Vancouver.

    Just got back from Rapa Nui! So amazing - and a bit sad to see it becoming a tourist attraction. But it's still remarkable that you can be out there all by yourself - and not see another person for hours!
