AI6YR BenLol, typing a URL from the ArcGIS user magazine for their magazine's URL shortener takes me unexpected and possible bad places (because they just map arcg.is to bitly). Bad cybersecurity practice, IMHO. Especially since you can't tell a the difference between letter "O" and number "0" and the difference between the letter "l" and the number "1".
Anyway, at risk of overloading their servers, there is a really cool 3D model of all the Easter Island "moai" there. and you can see some stuff that is apparently inaccessible even to archeologists/etc. because of the terrain and sensitivity of the site. Link here:
David Whittemore@ai6yr You will like this video, where the gentleman responsible for that mapping is interviewed at length.

The Mind-blowing Scale Of Moai Building
Pusher of Pixels@ai6yr just watched a show recently about them. They carved the front and sides in situ and then cut under to free it. Then they were slid downhill into prepared hollows to get them more vertical. Lastly they removed the remaining rock from the back.
@pixelpusher220 Very interesting!
Anne Ominousthat's awesome. some fun stuff there
