Seven stone giants or maois stand together on the sacred site of Ahu Akivi on Easter Island. There are several hundred statues positioned around the coastline of this small Pacific island; however, unlike the others, these seven have been brought inland. They stand facing west toward the ocean where the sun sets during the spring and autumn equinoxes. No one knows why these statues are here, but some believe they represent the seven young warriors sent by the legendary Polynesian King Hotu Matu'a to explore the island. Others believe that the site of Ahu Akivi is a sanctuary and an observatory. 20'' x 16''.
