EASTER ISLAND: Ahu Tongariki ? and its 15 mysterious Moai (statues) - full tour

Ahu Tongariki, Easter island, Rapa Nui, Pacific Ocean - the statues (moai) and platform (Ahu) of Tongariki (Ahu Tongariki) in Easter Island. Let&visit Ahu Tongariki which is the largest ahu (platform) on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in the Pacific Ocean. Ahu Tongariki&moai (statues) were toppled during the island&civil wars and in the twentieth century Ahu Tongariki was swept inland by a tsunami. Ahu Tongariki has since been restored and has fifteen moai including an 86 tonne moai that was the heaviest ever erected on the island. Ahu Tongariki is one kilometer from Rano Raraku and Poike in the Hotu-iti area of Rapa Nui National Park. All the moai here face sunset during Summer Solstice. Ahu Tongariki is the most majestic ceremonial platform on the whole island. Words can’t describe the impression one receives while contemplating this ahu and its 15 gigantic sculptures, framed by a turquoise sea background with the sound of the waves crashing on the cliffs. Ahu Tongariki represents the maximum splendor of the island’s sculptures. With a ceremonial 220-meter long platform, it’s the largest structure of this nature in all of Polynesia. #VicStefanu
