Pacific Mysteries

Here is something from Hawai'i. This is a tiny part of a heiau on Kaua'i, the Holo Holo Ku heiau. These stones are in the back left corner, almost embedded in the bank behind.

Do they not look cut? In fact, do they not look cut just like the Easter Island stones? The stonework is compared side-by-side on a later page.

You probably know that there are stone pyramids in Egypt and in Central America. Did you know that there is one in Tonga? There is, and it is made of cut stones! How is this possible? Where did it come from? Where did the people who did this work come from?

Also in Tonga is the Tonga Arch, called the Ha‘amonga‘a Maui. Look at the size. The uprights are square cut and notched for the lintel. Lintel is square cut and fitted into the uprights. What can be the purpose of such work? What can be the method of cutting and lifting?

Do you know the stone city of Nan Madol on Pohnpei? It is made of stone beams the size of phone poles. The probable quarry is miles away over water. How did they move these pillars? How did they place them up to 30' high? How were there enough people for such a massive project, as the site is over 1 mile square with many such buildings. And most important, why did they do all of this work for relatively few islanders?

Most people Most people know of Easter Island. Here we find the moai, the monumental carved stone statues. The artistic skill of these moai is already remarkable. The islanders' ability to move and set these has been the subject of many theories. But the ahu, the platforms they stand upon, are just as interesting.

The ahu above is Ahu Naunau. Look at the base, the straight line of rectangular stones. There are 3 views of the base shown. Look at the right end. See how well those stones are shaped and fitted. Do those stones look cut to you? They do to me.

Finally, here is Yonaguni, the underwater site near Okinawa. Their are arguments that it could have been made by nature, not by man. These arguments are critical.

If it was made by man, our assumptions about the primitive technical abilities of early man are required to change. Science, itself, must readjust the timeline of man to account for a high technology at least 10,000 years ago. What was their technology to cut this stone? Who was here to do that massive work so long ago?
