Easter Island, Chile 2003

The Kneeling Moai, Ahu Tongariki and the Ocean

2003-12-02

This is the only kneeling Moai on Easter Island.  It is different from all the others, and I haven't been able to find an explanation for it yet.

The Moai at Ahu Tongariki were moved from behind me to the Ahu.  This is the shortest distance any Moai would have moved, and some of them have been moved 20 kilometres from Rano Raraku.
