That sounds a lot like a show I saw where they tried to prove how the Easter
Island heads were created and moved.  They made a head, then used trees
(which they had to bring in from elsewhere as there are no trees on the
island[*]) and used them to move the head.  Standing it up was the hardest
part.

[*] They actually had a theory that the creation of the heads is why there
were no trees left on the island, and that it lead to the end of the creation
of the heads.
