Stone bearing mana

About 40 meters to the left of the ahu Te Pito Kura is a large completely polished oval rock surrounded by a stone wall and four other stones that serve as chairs. Legend has it that the Ariki Hotu Matua’a, the first king of the island, came to Easter Island carrying this huge stone bearing mana (spiritual power granted by the gods).
