Moʻai

He mau moʻai ma Rano Raraku.

He kiʻi kanaka pōhakukūkahi ka moʻai ma ka mokupuni Polenekia o Rapa Nui. Ua kālai ʻia kēia mau kiʻi ma waena o nā makahiki 1250 a me 1500. He mau kānaka nui kekahi a he mau poʻo kānaka nunui wale nō kekahi. Kaulana ʻo Rapa Nui i nā moʻai. Ke koe nei ka hapalua o nā moʻai ma ka lua ʻeli pōhaku nui ʻo Rano Raraku a ua hali ʻia kekahi hapalua i nā ahu o ka mokupuni. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo Rapa Nui ke ahu no ke kahua o ka moʻai.

ʻAʻole i mōakāka ke kumu no ka hina ʻana o nā moʻai a me ka hoʻopau koke ʻana o ke kālai pōhaku ʻana.

Palapala ʻāina o Rapa Nui me nā ahu
