The 'average' erected statue [on Easter Island] was 13 feet tall and weighed about 10 tons. The tallest ever erected successfully, known as Paro, was 32 feet tall but was slender and weighed 'only' about 75 tons, and was thus exceeded in weight by the 87-ton ... statue ... that taxed Claudio Cristino in his efforts to reerect it with a crane. ... Rano Raraku quarry contains even bigger unfinished statues, including one 70 feet long and weighing about 270 tons. Knowing what we do about Easter Island technology, it seems impossible that the islanders could ever have transported and erected it, and we have to wonder what megalomania possessed its carvers.

If not for you!
Winter wouldn't have no spring.
Couldn't hear the robins sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue!
Anyway, it wouldn't ring true.
If not for you!
If not for you.
