caption_attribution_description: English: The moai at Ahu Tongariki lined up from the south. It's a rowdy bunch. Only one of them wears a "hat"/pukao, and the tallest one is the largest moai ever to stand. It weighs 86 tonnes, which is about half a Jumbo Jet. Even with a modern crane it is a challenge to get that much weight to stand.
context_page_description: Ahu Tongariki is the largest ahu on Easter Island. Its moais were toppled during the island's civil wars, and in the twentieth century the ahu was swept inland by a tsunami. It has since been restored and has fifteen moai, including one that weighs eighty-six tonnes, the heaviest ever erected on the island. Ahu Tongariki is one kilometer from Rano Raraku and Poike in the Hotu-iti area of Rapa Nui National Park. All the moai here face sunset during the summer solstice.
