I gonna allways remember this place coz is beautiful and da name coz is beautiful is well,

its allways gonna stay in my heart.

Ahu Tongariki, on the south coast of Easter was the site of one of the largest of the ahu. The large flat plain below Rano Raraku provided easy access to the quarry and as a result the largest of the moai where erected here.

15 Moais line up along the largest ahu built.

Ahu Tongariki------->

Almost everyone has seen the iconic images of the Easter Island statues staring silently out from the hillsides. Seeing these pictures many people have come to believe that all Moai faced the ocean while it is the exact opposite that is true. With the exception of Ahu Akivi all erected Moai face inland. It is believed they were positioned that way to watch over the villages. At Rano Raraku the statues face away from the crater.

Built in 1460 this site was one of the later constructions built, probably at a time when the statue cult was beginning to unravel. Unlike other sites, Akivi is inland and has a commanding view of the western part of the island. Its 7 moai, all about 14 feet tall and approx. 12 metric tons each, are remarkably similar.

This shows 7 woriors who explore the island at the beginning. Only Moais looking on the ocean.

Ahu Akivi-------->

Easter Island- is a tiny speck of land in the South Pacific. Formed by a series of massive volcanic eruptions, the island was only inhabited by sea birds and dragonflies for millions of years. Its steep slopes, however, stood out like a beacon to a weary group of Polynesian seafarers. How long their voyage took or their reasons for leaving their home country are questions that we'll never have the answer to, but we can imagine their joy at seeing this sight after what must have been months at sea.

Easter Island, Rapa Nui, Isla de Pascua-- U can call it however u want to, for me it´s something amazing something I never seen and never felt and something u cant find enywhere else in da world. People, magic site of this place, amazing moais and that empty places where u can just think about mystery´s of this place: how, where, when and why, this question allways gonna stay in my head.

Gauthier was right, This place is not only about Moais, Is about something else something u cant explain that easy.

Good bye Easter Island

Stay allways in my heart
