Copper tools ? :D
Maybe not on easter island but in south america ive heard it suggested that you dont have to finely cut these stones. Place one stone and use a chemical compound created by mixing various plants as a mortar that eats away at the rocks and the weight of the rocks make it flush. Easy enough to test if they lifted or destroyed one rock to test the mortar.
Don't underestimate the power of huge quantities of expendable humans.
...but if you're gonna postulate that, you have to show there was 'caloric infrastructure' (as in, a food supply-chain) to power the slaves' muscles.
400 men with zero animals moved a 1,200 ton rock in Russia in ~1770, moving these stones are entirely possible with humans.
1200 tons is the largest rock moved by man. The heaviest stones in the pyramids is like 25-80 tons. The three foundation stones at Baalbek are 800 tons.
Nobody anywhere has been moving multiple 1200 rocks anywhere on earth that’s been discovered. If you actually look up the real weight of these objects and examine what humans have done in recorded history and turn off ancient aliens (who lie about weights constantly) you’ll get a better picture of what humans are capable of.
Actually, this technique is not so hard to do. Just using sand while cutting the stone will make it extremely smooth + stone can grind another stone perfectly to fit them together.
The stones are not so important. The temples they built were acoustic marvels. Now, that is worthy to be explored in depth.
Just a side-note, copper can easily grind stone, actually most metals can. It's a question of density of the metal structure.
Its not impressive even when its massive multi-ton stones that fit together so well that a human hair couldnt pass through the cracks?
It is impressive, no doubt. But I am saying that making a temple acoustic is far more impressive than the walls, wouldn't you agree?
