Hi readers , we are going to talk today about the Easter Island.
Did you know that this beautiful island has mysteries and legends?!
Tu’u Koihu denied having seen them but the spirits didn’t believe him and kept watch on him for two days and two nights. Seeing that he wasn’t telling anyone, they left. Once he was free from the spirits, the ariki returned to Tore Ta’hana, went into a hut, and carved into a piece of toromiro Wood the two disembodied figures of the aku aku he’d seen. This was the means of communication the ariki found to tell the world what he’d seen.

Moai Kava Kava Legend
Legend states that on one fateful day, the ariki Tu’u Koihu, Hotu Matu’a’s oldest son, was on a midnight walk in Puna Pau when he found two spirits, or aku aku, asleep in front of him. Upon a closer look he noticed that they had skeletal bodies, and he decided to walk away and leave them. However, he woke them as he tried to run away, so the aku aku chased him in fear that he’d tell someone what he’d seen.

This was, according to tradition, the origin of the Kava Kava moais (“statues with ribs”) that the islanders used to carve out of wood and hang on the inside of their front doors to keep away evil spirits.
