@andtartary2 Pre-inka likely flew Hot smoke Balloons.
Advanced NHI tech is our 1st reflexe, but ancient humans using hot air to navigate the skys (to me) is even more fascinating & very posable.
Locals even talk of ancient paragliding & wingsuits with condor wings.

@Engin1133@FoMaHun Easter Island DID NOT commit ecoside!
It was a misunderstanding that was proven wrong. The book from the late 1990's is wrong.
Rats ate the seeds/nuts of the trees causing deforestation, NOT HUMANS.
@FoMaHun @GeorgeE27732 I like what you are experimenting with, but please leave the Rapa Nui people out of it. They did carve ALL of their stone/rocks/volcanic tuff.
They did not commit ecoside like a late 1990's book wrongful suggest.
@_Base_Money @FoMaHun Total nonsense. All Polynesian cultures had strict (death) rules about over fishing & farming.
They live with known limited resources on each island.
Deforestation was done by rats that came with the humans, eating the nuts/seeds. Also happened on many other islands.
@FoMaHun There is no evidence of casting the Moai. Rats that humas brought with them ate the seeds/nuts of the trees leading to deforestation.
Polynesians are expert stone carvers.
Moai were walked across the island with ropes, not rolled with soft palm logs.
Stop the BS.
@KelanderthalMan@FoMaHun No casting. All 'Ahu Moai' (finished statues) went through many carving steps.
1 General shape at quarry.
2 slid down hill into an upright position then thin out neck.
3 'walked' into position w/ ropes on head/neck.
4 bottom reshaped.
5 eyes opened.
Stop with the BS.
@FoMaHun Nope, rats they brought with them ate the nuts/seeds of the trees leading to deforestation like what has happened on other Polynesian islands.
There is a LOT of evidence of this.
@incunabula If not mentioned here, the Rongorongo Script has about 40 characters in common with the Indus Valley Script (IVS). The only difference In the ~40 characters is that the IVS are single line stick figures & Rongorongo are outlines (double line).
