Ana Kai Tangata cave

The name Ana Kai Tangata has led to various speculations due to the different translations. On one hand, Ana, means “cave”; Tangata, means “man”; and Kai, means “to eat” in modern Rapa Nui. For which, the cave is referred to as “the cave of the cannibals” or of the “man-eaters”. However, there is no archaeological proof or any oral traditions that confirm that the Rapa Nui practiced cannibalism.
