Description: Ahu Akivi - Easter island - Chile.
It has been estimated that the moai at this site were probably transported and erected after AD 1400. Ahu Akivi is an unusual site because it is inland. Although many visitors assume the statues were placed here to face the ocean, in fact they were meant to look out over a very large village which today is in ruins. The site was restored in 1960.
