Aliens!? Really!?

        Did Aliens Make These Statues?

            The question that many people, kids and adults, are asking is: Do aliens really exist? Do they come out from time to time in their invisible spaceship? Of course, not. They also did not make the statues. Long ago, people called Rapanui settled on an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Today it is known as Easter Island. They farmed and cleared the forest. The Rapanui also became great artists. They carved hundreds of enormous human statues called moai. How did they move such big, heavy statues. It is evident that the Rapanui moved the statues by using the trees to roll them. They were cut down to make sledges and rollers for the statues.
          It is reasonable that the Rapanui rolled the statues. It explains what happened to the trees. They were cut down to make the sledges and rollers. It is said in the article that the sledges and rollers would require lots and lots of wood. Therefore, the Rapanui would have to cut down the forest. Under A Fatal Obsession, it states that  without trees, the Rapanui could not build canoes to fish. They began to eat more birds. Then the bird popualtion started to decrease and the population of the Rapanui increase. Wood was gone and food disappeared, so a war broke out.
          The Rapanui rolled the statues because wood was needed do they cut down the trees. It all connects to each other like a puzzle. There was no trees because the Rapanui cut them all down to make sledges and rollers. By using the sledges and rollers, they were able to roll the statues. In summation, there are no aliens involved and the statues were rolled.
