EASTER ISLAND: Tongan pyramids of LAPAHA and ahu (platforms) for Moai are same
Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Pacific Ocean - comparing the local moai platforms (Ahu) and the Tongan pyramids of Lapaha, the architecture. Here's an exclusive study of the Ahu (platforms) of Easter Island (where the Moai, the statues, stand on) and for the first time one historian dares to draw parallels between the Royal Tongan pyramids of Tonga in Lapaha and the later Ahu (after the 13th century) of Easter Island. Conclusion: The Tongans have influenced the architecture and layout of the Ahu platforms on Easter Island.
Easter Island, a Chilean territory, is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia. Its native name is Rapa Nui. It’s famed for archaeological sites, including nearly 900 monumental statues called moai, created by inhabitants during the 13th–16th centuries. The moai are carved human figures with oversize heads, often resting on massive stone pedestals called ahus. Ahu Tongariki has the largest group of upright moai.
The village of Mu'a, about 12 kilometres from the current capital of Tonga, Nuku'alofa, is the site of the third capital of Ancient Tonga, having been relocated from the Heketa-Ha'amonga area around the 13th Century until the 19th Century. It is located in the eastern district of Tongatapu.
Lapaha, which is situated at the north-eastern part of Mu'a, is said to have been the permanent home and centre of chiefly power of the Tu'i Tonga. It is also famous for being the geographic centre of the Tongan maritime chiefdom during the reign of Tu'i Tongas from the 13th to the 19th Centuries.
