GUEST,Suibhne Astray BS: Easter Island Statue Walk-About (27) RE: BS: Easter Island Statue Walk-About 24 Jun 12

Hunted around for my old copy of Aku-Aku but no luck. As I recall this was less about Heyerdahl's experimental archaeology than it was about him accounting for various aspects of Easter Island culture, tradition & history. The secret of the 'walking Moai' was revealed to him by one of the islanders.

Do I recall a BBC documentary (not Heyderdahl) on this very issue back in the 1980s / 90s though? I remember seeing film footage of people walking Moai (or Moai reconstructions) but this was 20 years ago or so.
