On the right side of the large square overlooking the sea, at the foot of Mount Maunga Hau Epa, is the Ahu Ature Huki. There is a single moai statue that was the first to be raised on the island in modern times. The idea came from the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, who related his stay on the island in 1956 in his book “Aku Aku”, encouraged several islanders to raise the statue to test their theories.
For this task a dozen men, wooden poles, stones and ropes were needed. They were gradually lifting the gigantic statue over a cluster of stones by levering the timbers until they could settle it in its place after eighteen days of effort.
