Description:
Outside the Natural History museum on campus there stands a 9-ton concrete Moai that was used by a team of scientists for a NOVA special on Easter Island. The scientists, including WWCC's own professor Charlie Love, investigated how the statues were moved. The team found that once the statue was moved onto logs, it could be pulled and rolled into position.
