Anywhere from 180 to 250 men were required for pulling, depending on the size of the moai. Among other researchers on moving and erecting the moai was <a href="/wiki/Vincent_Richards_Lee" class="mw-redirect" title="Vincent Richards Lee">Vince Lee</a>, who reenacted a moai moving scenario. Some 50 of the statues were re-erected in modern times. One of the first was on Ahu Ature Huke in Anakena beach in 1956.<sup id="cite_ref-123" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-123"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>123<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was raised using traditional methods during a Heyerdahl expedition. </p><p>Another method that might have been used to transport the moai would be to attach ropes to the statue and rock it, tugging it forward as it rocked. This would fit the legend of the Mo'ai 'walking' to their final locations.<sup id="cite_ref-124" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-124"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>124<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-125" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-125"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-126" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-126"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>126<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This might have been managed by as few as 15 people, supported by the following evidence: </p> <ul><li>The heads of the moai in the quarry are sloped forward, whereas the ones moved to final locations are not. This would serve to provide a better centre of gravity for transport.</li> <li>The statues found along the transport roads have wider bases than statues installed on ahu; this would facilitate more stable transport. Studies have shown fractures along the bases of the statues in transport; these could have arisen from rocking the statue back and forth and placing great pressures on the edges. The statues found mounted on ahu do not have wide bases, and stone chips found at the sites suggest they were further modified on placement.</li> <li>The abandoned and fallen statues near the old roads are found (more often than would be expected from chance) face down on ascending grades and on their backs when headed uphill. Some were documented standing upright along the old roads, e.g., by a party from Captain Cook's voyage that rested in the shade of a standing statue. This would be consistent with upright transport.</li></ul> <p>There is debate regarding the effects of the monument creation process on the environment.

In this context, <i>ahu</i> referred to a small structure sometimes covered with a thatched roof where sacred objects, including statues, were stored. The ahu were usually adjacent to the marae or main central court where ceremonies took place, though on Easter Island, ahu and moai evolved to much greater size. There the marae is the unpaved plaza before the ahu. The biggest ahu is 220 m (720 ft) and holds 15 statues, some of which are 9 m (30 ft) high. The filling of an ahu was sourced locally (apart from broken, old moai, fragments of which have been used in the fill).<sup id="cite_ref-Heyerdahl_1961_111-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Heyerdahl_1961-111"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>111<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Individual stones are mostly far smaller than the moai, so less work was needed to transport the raw material, but artificially leveling the terrain for the plaza and filling the ahu was laborious. </p><p>Ahu are found mostly on the coast, where they are distributed densely and fairly evenly. The exceptions are the western slopes of Mount <a href="/wiki/Terevaka" title="Terevaka">Terevaka</a> and the Rano Kau and <a href="/wiki/Poike" title="Poike">Poike</a> headlands, where they are much sparser.

Related stone structures called <i>Tupa</i> look very similar to the <i>hare oka</i>, except that the <i>Tupa</i> were inhabited by astronomer-priests and located near the coast, where the movements of the stars could be easily observed. Settlements also contain <i>hare moa</i> ("chicken house"), oblong stone structures that housed chickens. The houses at the ceremonial village of Orongo are unique in that they are shaped like <i>hare paenga</i> but are made entirely of flat basalt slabs found inside Rano Kao crater. The entrances to all the houses are very low, and entry requires crawling. </p><p>In early times the people of Rapa Nui reportedly sent the dead out to sea in small funerary canoes, as did their Polynesian counterparts on other islands. They later started burying people in secret caves to save the bones from desecration by enemies. During the turmoil of the late 18th century, the islanders seem to have started to bury their dead in the space between the belly of a fallen moai and the front wall of the structure. During the time of the epidemics they made mass graves that were semi-pyramidal stone structures. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Petroglyphs">Petroglyphs</h4></div> <p>Easter Island has one of the richest collections of <a href="/wiki/Petroglyph" title="Petroglyph">petroglyphs</a> in all Polynesia.
