Ahu Tongariki

EASTER ISLAND: EXPLORING the mysterious 15 MOAI (STATUES) of AHU TONGARIKI platform????

SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Ahu Tongariki which is the largest ahu (platform)on Easter Island. Its moai (statues) were toppled during the island's civil wars and in the twentieth century the ahu was swept inland by a tsunami. It 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.
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.

Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island

Ahu Tongaiki, probably one of the most photographed Ahu’s on the Island and the biggest. It contains 15 moai that have been recently restored after the Ahu was destroyed in the 1960’s by a Tsunami. On the approach to the Ahu you pass by a lonely moai know as the “Travelling Moai” due to the fact it went on a tour around Japan a few years ago. The size of the 15 statues is immense and with them being on top of their platform increases their scale as you look up at them. There is also some petroglyphs carved into the ground in front of the Ahu showing a turtle.

El Ahu Tongariki es sin duda el más impresionante de la isla.
Está ubicado justo delante del mar y sus 15 enormes Moai se alzan sobre su gran Ahu.
A un lado se pueden observar los pukao o gorros de los Moai, que no pudieron ser puestos de nuevo en la cabeza tras la reconstrucción.

Ahu Tongariki is undoubtedly the most impressive of the island.
It is located just by the sea and its 15 huge Moai stand on its large Ahu.
On one side you can see the pukao or caps of the Moai, which could not be put back in the head after reconstruction.

Ahu Tongariki, Easter Island

The 15 Moai, Ahu Tongariki | Easter Island

The Moai, huge sculptures shaped human head, the main tourist attraction of Easter Island, Valparaíso Region, Chile. Easter Islandhas several settlements called Ahu Altars, where a group of more or less numerous Moai meets, but always perfectly organized and looking in the same direction. Ahu Tongariki is the name of the settlement largest moai in terms of size and situation. Ahu Tongariki is located on the east coast of the island, about 20 kilometers from the capital Hanga Roa, between the coves of Hanga Hanga Hotu Iti and Nui. Ahu Tongariki is an altar, one composed of 15 figures aligned parallel to the coast, stand with their backs to the sea, as virtually all of the island Moai facing the center of it.

Currently Ahu Tongariki is considered the largest ceremonial center of Easter Island and even the largest of all the islands of Polynesia, and also one that has greater diversity because the statues are totally different from each other or in another words it different sizes, different thicknesses, etc. and representing various types of ancestors who inhabited the island centuries ago. As a historical note, note that in 1960 the area was devastated by a tsunami caused by an earthquake in the Chilean city of Valdivia. Most of the statues were completely buried under sand and remained for more than three decades until between 1992 and 1996 the restoration works were undertaken place. The 15 Moai were exhumed and returned to its original position, but only one of them was able to return the hat, since the rest were badly damaged and are at serious risk.

다음날 이른 새벽 일출을 보기 위해 통가리키로 향했다. 15개의 모아이 석상을 배경으로 떠오르는 일출은 이스터섬 여행에서 꼭 봐야 하는 명장면이다. 역시 사람들이 많다. 하늘의 구름을 보니 아름다운 일출을 보기는 힘들 것 같다. 사람들은 모아이와의 사진으로 아쉬움을 달랜다. “사실 약간 실망했어요. 일몰 같은 풍경이 있을 거라고 생각했는데 그나마 예쁜 것은 모아이들이에요.” 모아이 석상 아래 사랑을 나누며 행복을 비는 사람들. “제가 원하는 단 한 가지는 우리 가족의 행복이에요. 특히 우리에게 지금 가장 중요한 것은 우리 딸이에요. 우리가 희망하는 것은 딸이 컸을 때 지금의 사진을 보고 이곳에 다시 오고 싶어 하는 거예요. 엄마 아빠가 딸에게 남긴 추억이 되기를 바라는 거죠.“ 모아이 석상의 비밀을 찾아 떠난 여행. 영원히 잊지 못할 소중한 추억을 간직하며 마지막 발길을 옮긴다.

The next day I headed to Tongariroki for an early morning sunrise. The sunrise rising in the background of 15 moai statues is a must-see in Easter Island. There are too many people. Looking at the clouds in the sky, it is hard to see beautiful sunrise. People are relieved with the pictures of Moai. I was actually a little disappointed. I thought there might be scenes like sunset, but the beautiful ones are Moai. Those who love and share happiness under the Moai statue. The only thing I want is the happiness of our family. Especially the most important thing for us now is our daughter. What we hope is that when the daughter is older, she wants to see the picture now and come back here. I want my mom and dad to be memories of my daughter. I keep my precious memories that I will never forget.

Al día siguiente me dirigí a Tongariroki para un amanecer temprano en la mañana. El amanecer que se levanta en el fondo de 15 estatuas moai es una visita obligada en la Isla de Pascua. Hay demasiadas personas Mirando las nubes en el cielo, es difícil ver un hermoso amanecer. La gente se siente aliviada con las fotos de Moai. En realidad estaba un poco decepcionado. Pensé que podría haber escenas como la puesta de sol, pero las hermosas son Moai . Los que aman y comparten la felicidad bajo la estatua de Moai. Lo único que quiero es la felicidad de nuestra familia. Especialmente lo más importante para nosotros ahora es nuestra hija. Lo que esperamos es que cuando la hija sea mayor, quiera ver la imagen ahora y volver aquí. Quiero que mi mamá y mi papá sean recuerdos de mi hija . Guardo mis preciosos recuerdos que nunca olvidaré.

코끝을 스치는 바람을 따라 향한 곳은 아나케나에서 멀지 않은 통가리키. 이스터섬 내에서 가장 많은 15개의 모아이석상이 있는 곳으로 그 폭이 200미터에 달하며 장대한 모습을 보여주고 있다. 세계문화유산으로 지정된 모아이는 신이나 조상을 숭배하는 차원에서 만들어졌다고 한다. 두 손은 배꼽 아래 가운데로 공손히 모으고 있으며 하나같이 네모난 얼굴에 널찍한 이마와 긴 코를 가지고 있는 것이 특징이다.

Tongari Riki, not far from Anakena, is heading for the nose wind. It is the largest of the 15 moai statues on Easter Island, 200 meters wide and magnificent. Moai, designated as a World Heritage Site, is said to have been created to worship a god or ancestor. Both hands are gracefully centered beneath the belly button and are characterized by having a wide forehead and a long nose on one square face.
