I discovered it--I don't remember how--last year
in April. I will not at this time go into why I
found it important. But later.

So that's where I heard of it! I remembered it the other
day as I was reading in Sebastian Englert's "Leyendas de
Isla de Pascua" the oral traditions about why the statues
were carved and how they were moved. I did a search for
"stonehenge" on my disk M: (M: is for "miscellaneous")
and there it was, in directory "M:\move", every file
time-stamped 04/04/2004.

From the animations I have downloaded from the site, and
from conversations "à bâton rompu" I've had with a French
architect friend of mine about medieval building techniques
and tricks (he has the complete works of Viollet-Leduc, and
I went through them, fascinated), yes, Wal Wallington is
definitely onto something. I am putting together a porfolio
of documents about the Easter Island statues which I will
send him. If, as I expect, he comes up with ways in which
the statues could have been moved, ways that took only
a few days and a small handful of people, then we can stop
blaming the making of the statues for the deforestation
of the island. My (very possibly mistaken) view about the
statues is that they were carved, moved and erected over
a very short period, a few decades at the most, not centuries
as the consensus goes. A passing fad, in other words.
There are also details in Roggeveen's account that... no...
I don't want to mention that without checking first with
people who have done serious archaeological work there.

Because you found it on the first day of April?
