This is Victor Enrique Acune Ika, my guide for three days. He is holding up one of the massive moai at the quarry where all the statues were chiseled out of the mountain and transported, mysteriously, to parts of the island many miles away. People have speculated on how the statues were transported... some believe it was done with magical levitation... some believe it was UFOs which helped and some believe massive slave labor accomplished the task.

Here I am making a fool of myself ... imitating a moai statue by wearing a rock hat. My friends told me that the hat really did not go with my gym shoes and white socks.

We took nearly three hours to climb to the top of the main moai quarry which is an extinct volcano. The view into the crater was breathtaking.
