Ahu Akivi

Ahu Akivi is one of the most important platforms on the island for several reasons: - It is one of the rare Moaïs platform which is not located on the coast but inside the island, in a slight height. - It is composed of 7 imposing Moaïs, all of the same size, about 4.5 m and corpulence about 5 tons. - It is one of the only platforms where the Moaïs are turned towards the sea. Its precise orientation most certainly makes it an astronomical observatory for the Rapa Nui. Finally it was one of the first platforms restored and studied by archaeologists. This first restoration helped the preservation of the island's ancient culture and brought it to light.
