Scientists make Easter Island like statues walk

This is a video from an upcoming National Geographic PBS special on Easter Island.  They may have found one way for the statues to have moved from the quarry to the location on the island.  Ropes were used by a team of volunteers to walk the statues into place.  Jared Diamond in his book Collapse suggested that the statues were moved using timber logs.
