Ua ʻike ʻia kahi kiʻi Moai hou ma Easter Island, kahi mokupuni lua pele mamao kahi ʻāina kūikawā o Chile, ma mua o kēia pule.

Ua hana ʻia nā kiʻi kālai pōhaku e kekahi ʻohana Polenekia ma mua o 500 makahiki aku nei. Ua ʻike ʻia ka mea hou i loaʻa ma kahi moe loko maloʻo ma ka mokupuni, e like me ka hope pelekikena o Maʻu Henua, Salvador Atan Hito.Nūhou ABChoike mua i ka loaa.

ʻO Maʻu Henua ka hui ʻōiwi nāna e mālama i ka paka aupuni o ka mokupuni. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he mea koʻikoʻi ka ʻike ʻana no ke kaiāulu maoli o Rapa Nui.

 

Ma kahi o 1,000 mau Moai i hana ʻia me ka lua pele ma ka Easter Island. ʻO 33 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi o lākou. Ma ka awelika, hiki ke kaumaha ma waena o 3 a 5 tons, akā hiki i nā mea kaumaha ke kaumaha a hiki i 80.

"He mea koʻikoʻi ka moai no ka mea e hōʻike maoli ana lākou i ka mōʻaukala o ka poʻe Rapa Nui," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Terry Hunt, ke kaukaʻi o ka archeology ma ke Kulanui o Arizona.ABC. “ʻO lākou nā kūpuna akua o ka mokupuni. He mea hōʻailona lākou ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, a ke hōʻike nei lākou i ka hoʻoilina archaeological maikaʻi o kēia mokupuni.

ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kiʻi hou i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka mea i ʻike ʻia ka mea mua ma kahi moena loko maloʻo.

Ua loaʻa ka hopena ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ea o ia wahi—ua maloʻo ka loko e puni ana i kēia kiʻi. Inā mau ka maloʻo, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā Moai i ʻike ʻole ʻia i kēia manawa.

"Ua hūnā ʻia lākou e nā ʻohe kiʻekiʻe e ulu ana ma ka moena o ka loko, a ʻo ka nānā ʻana me kahi mea hiki ke ʻike i ka mea ma lalo o ka ʻili honua e haʻi mai iā mākou he ʻoi aku ka nui o nā moai i loko o nā sediment o ka loko," wahi a Hunt. “Inā hoʻokahi moai i loko o ka loko, nui aʻe paha.”
