It is difficult to imagine how the islanders moved such a
large statue from the quarry four miles (six kilometers) away;
Paro is the island's largest transported moai. Lying face
down, toppled from its ahu, Paro weighs 82 tons and is 32.45
feet (9.89 meters) long. Some theorists estimate it could have
taken four to five hundred people to move Paro. Paro's pukao
alone is almost six feet (two meters) across, 5.5 feet (1.7
meters) high, and weighs 11.5 tons.
