| Description |
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. Anakena is the main beach on Easter Island. This place is considered the cradle of the Easter Island history. It was here that the first king of the island, the Ariki Hotu Matu’a, landed and established the first settlement that gave birth to the Rapa Nui culture. The real name of the beach and the small bay is Hanga Mori o One, also called Hanga Rau Ariki or King's Bay, in honour of the founder. The oldest remains here date from approximately 1200 AD. Only two ceremonial platforms (ahus) are here today. Two special objects were found at the site. The first was a female moai, one of the few that have been found on the island . The second object is a white coral eye with a red scum pupil. It was the first time an original moai eye was found. It is believed that the placement of the eyes on the statues returned the mana or spiritual power of the ancestors. Both of these objects are in the anthropological museum of Easter Island. |
