The Ahu Akivi of Easter Island are 7 moais that face the Pacific Ocean and represent the 7 explorers that were sent by King Hotu to Matua before his colonizing trip. According to various studies, the Ahu Akivi were built between 1442 and 1600 and it is estimated that they were restored between 1960 and 1961. It is 90 meters long and has a 38-meter central platform. One of the most striking things was that these moais were built aligned with the points where the sun rises in autumn and spring. On September 22 and March 20 of each year, day and night last exactly the same. This was of great help to the farmers of Easter Island, since it warned them of the change in climate and they prepared the land so that their crops were successful.
