EditorialIn front of ahus (ceremonial platforms) and toppled moai statues are circles laid out with stones. Their purpose is unknown-meeting places for common meals during festivals, meditation circles-there is no local tradition to explain these spaces.
EditorialAhu Tahai has three ceremonial platforms with five moi and two single moai, among them Ko te Riku, the only " seeing" statue because its eyes, of white coral, have been restored. A ramp between the ahus descends to the Pacific.
