Ha'amonga 'a Maui

Notice the children sitting near the trilithon, you can see how large it is compared to them




The Ha'amonga 'a Maui was built in the 13th century by Tui Tonga Tu'itatui and weighs several tons. There are several legends around the creation of the trilithon such as being a doorway to a former palace, or one presented by the last king to be a way of marking the solstices.
