Vinapu - Ahu Tahira
What is special about the Ahu Tahira is its platform’s back wall. It consists of large stones held together without mortar and finely carved, similar to those found in the Inca ruins. This striking similarity has convinced the scientific community that there were contacts between Polynesia and South America. It’s possible that the Polynesians’ exploring voyages didn’t stop at Easter Island, but instead went further east until they finally made contact with the mainland.
