Join
us as we follow the progress of a team of archaeologists and a 75-person
crew who are seeking to unravel a central mystery of Easter Island: how
hundreds of giant stone statues that dominate the island's coast were moved
and erected. Now through mid-May, check back regularly as the team struggles
to transport and raise a 15-ton statue, or moai, using only the tools and
materials available to the ancient Easter Islanders.
