Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, is best known for its ancient statues, the Moai.

For some, these giant statues are evidence that aliens once visited Earth,

and that these aliens made and moved the Moai.

Scientists, however, have more Earth-bound theories.

Most scientists agree that the stone statues were built far away from where they were eventually placed.

The question is, how were they moved?

In 1955, Norwegian adventurer and scientist Thor Heyerdahl suggested that the moai were perhaps dragged on top of tree trunks.

This would have been very hard work, but it's possible.

In 1970, William Malloy, an American researcher,

theorized that the Rapa Nui people used a giant V-shaped frame to carry the Moai.

However, others suggested this was unlikely.

Traditional stories say the statues walked,

so perhaps they were moved in a way that looked like walking. In 1986,

Czech engineer Pavel Pavel worked with Heyerdahl to come up with a way of moving a statue with a twisting motion.

And a year later, Charles Love stood his moai upright and rolled it forward on a sled on top of wooden logs.

But for many, this still didn't look like walking.

So, in 2011, Terry Hunt and Carl Lippo tried a new approach.

They looked at the shape of the Moai statue standing along Rapa Nui's ancient roads, and found that their bottoms were not flat.

As a result, they suggested another possible way the statues were moved.

Perhaps three small groups of Rapa Nui moved the statue.

Two groups to walk the statue forward, and one from behind to keep it standing.

Hunt and Lippo tested their theory using a team of 18 people and a specially created 3 meter high statue.

It was a great success.

While no single theory has solved the puzzle of the walking Moai,

they have provided interesting new ideas about this ancient mystery.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
