Chile - Waves on the Secret Beach Near Ahu Vinapu on the Easter Island
Ahu a Kivi, Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Chile
Ahu Akivi is a particular sacred place in Rapa Nui in the Valparaíso Region of Chile, looking out towards the Pacific Ocean. The site has seven moai, all of equal shape and size, and is also known as a celestial observatory that was set up around the 16th century.
What makes Ahu Akivi different from other moai sites on the island is that it is not on the coast and the moai are looking towards the ocean (whereas all other moai look inland). And just like other ahu, this ceremonial center is orientated astronomically since the moai look straight to the sunset during the Spring and Autumn equinox.
According to oral tradition, the 7 moai of Ahu Akivi represent the young explorers sent to explore the island before the arrival of the colonizers led by founder Hotu Matu’a and they are looking to their original home island.
Vinapu on Easter Island
Vinapu features a female moai statue although it is so badly weathered it is difficult to tell and some very fine stonework similar to that of the Inca’s. which has led some people to theorise that the Island was populated from the East rather than the West and Polynesia (although all the evidence points to the first inhabitants coming from the West). There is also a number of fallen moai and topknots here.
Ahu Vinapu is an archaeological site on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in Eastern Polynesia.
The ceremonial center of Vinapu includes one of the larger ahu on Rapa Nui. The ahu exhibits extraordinary stonemasonry consisting of large, carefully fitted slabs of basalt. The American archaeologist, William Mulloy investigated the site in 1958.
Heyerdahl believed that the accurately fitted stonework showed contact with Peru, but both Vinapu I and Vinapu II were constructed earlier than 1440 and similar work only shows up in Peru after 1440.
The stone wall faces towards sunrise at Winter Solstice.
Vinapu is part of the Rapa Nui National Park, which UNESCO has declared a World Heritage Site.

Ahu Akivi on Easter Island
Ahu Akivi, the first Ahu on the Island to be restored in 1960. the 108 foot long Ahu features seven moai facing the setting sun and is belived to represent the seven explorers sent to scout the Island before the arrival of Hotu Matu’a and is estimated to have been constructed around 1450.
Ahu Akivi is a particular sacred place in Rapa Nui (or Easter Island) in the Valparaíso Region of Chile, looking out towards the Pacific Ocean. The site has seven moai, all of equal shape and size, and is also known as a celestial observatory that was set up around the 1500s. The site is located inland, rather than along the coast. Moai statues were considered by the early people of Rapa Nui as their ancestors, whom they worshipped as their deity – Make Make.[1]
A particular feature of the seven identical moai statues is that they exactly face sunset during the Spring Equinox and have their backs to the sunrise during the Autumn Equinox. Such an astronomically precise feature is seen only at this location on the island.
Ahu Akivi is part of the Ahu Akivi-Vai Teka complex which was built up by the Rapa Nui people in two phases. In the first phase, during the 16th century a central rectangular platform was created on a leveled surface. It had wings projecting to the north and the south directions. An approach ramp was also part of this platform which led to the ceremonial plaza stretching 25 metres (82 ft) towards the west of the central platform. A cremation ground existed behind the central platform. The second phase of construction was elaborately planned and implemented in the early years of the 1600s when the platform was modified, a ramp was created, seven statues of equal size were erected. Another crematorium was also built. A cave in which people used to reside was also used as tomb during historic times.
The other Ahu in the complex is the Ahu Vai Teka, which is a much smaller platform of 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) length made up of rough lava stone blocks. There is no statue now, though one is believed to have existed initially. Both the ahus were believed to have been aligned astronomically with respect to the Sun. Both are located in the territory of the Miru, the highest ranking clan and the western confederacy, and both were contemporary. It is also conjectured that the seven statues were placed at Ahu Akivi at least 150 years before the first Europeans found the island when the clan was functional at that time. It is also evident that their culture existed for 250–300 years with economic prosperity with political stability.
In 1955, Thor Heyerdahl was the first to discover and take pictures of the moai statues. At that time he had recruited American archaeologist William Mulloy and his Chilean associate, Gonzalo Figueroa García-Huidobro, who restored the statues to their original position; they had found them in knocked down condition in 1960. Mulloy's work on the Akivi-Vaiteka Complex was supported by the Fulbright Foundation and by grants from the University of Wyoming, the University of Chile and the International Fund for Monuments. Ahu Akivi also gives its name to one of the seven regions of Rapa Nui National Park.

EASTER ISLAND, EXPLORING the platform (AHU) architecture of the statues (MOAI) ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to this mysterious island let's explore the architecture of the Ahu, that is, the platforms used where the famous Moai (statues) used to stand on. No one has ever attempted to describe these platforms, this is the first attempt here.
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.

Exploring Easter Island's Moai on Quad Bike | Easter Island, Chile
We made our first vlog! After taking three flights from Brisbane, we finally made it to Easter Island! This is one of the most beautiful, quiet and expensive places we have ever been. We decided to hire a quad bike and drive around the island to see all the amazing Moai (cool huge head statues), swim at the only beach on the island and watch an amazing sunset at an Ahu (platform with Moai). Although it isn’t quick to get to Easter Island, it is worth every effort to visit. This is one place you need to add to your bucket list!

The Inca Wall in Easter Island
The presence of a unique wall known as Ahu Vinapu in the remote Easter Island triggers all kinds of theories. Easter Island is located 2,485 miles of distance from Cusco but its similarity with the Inca architecture is undenaiable. There are other similarities that cannot be explained yet by the experts. But these unknown architects left “their signature” engraved in stones in Cusco and in Easter Island as well. Perhaps there was a transfer of technology from a sophisticated civilization in remote times.
