Sometimes referred to as the “Stonehenge of the Pacific”, this 40 tonne structure is made of three large coral limestones. Built by King Tuʻitātui in the thirteenth century.

Interestingly “Tuʻi” means the king. And “tui” means the knee. (the difference is very slight in how you pronounce the “i”) This king apparently had a curious habit of hitting anybody who approached him from the front with a stick to the knee!!
