Hello Sue - GREAT video! I didn't know anything about this - so it was fantastic news and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video. BUT .... *Pause the video at 2.51* and look carefully at the top (HUGE) stone. I see a face on it. I saw it instantly. I see the eyes, and it seems to have it's mouth open. I do believe that I can even see some teeth! Now .... *Let the video run until 3.06 - and pause it again* ... Tilt your head over to the right - as if you're trying to touch your shoulder with your ear. Then look at that large dark patch on the stone/rock - and let your eyes walk around that dark patch until you begin to see another face - in the very white patch slightly to the upper right side of the black patch on the stone, with white hair (looks like the wind has blown his wispy hair) - again, I can see eyes and, again, it looks like his mouth is open. He looks a bit cross over something or other. Hope I've explained what I'm seeing, and how to find those faces, properly. GREAT video Sue and GV. Thank you so, so much for this fabulous bit of education! Sending much love ~ Cobs. xxx

[@jimcabezola3051]

Wow! The oldest graves I've clapped on eyes on here in Honolulu were from the 1800s. The first people who would become Hawaiians arrived here a "mere" 1,500 years ago. They were followed by the Tahitians about 500 years afterward. The bones, or "iwi", of all these ancient Hawaiians are regarded in highest esteem here and are not to be disturbed. Anyway...mahalo for showing us yet another gorgeous and historical place. Aloha!

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

Good question Judy, blows my mind

[@JILOA]

Maybe they made some kind of block & tackle pulley system to move that rock.

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

I can only imagine, cows pulling these big rocks and boulders along tree trunks to move then and then as you say a pulls system to lift

[@rte64rte]

They were amazing workers back then. My thought is they picked that site due to the large stone. Some how lifted it and stuffed smaller stones under until they could do whatever they needed to do. Still its so impressive! Thanks Sue for bringing us along! God bless you for sharing.

[@SerenitySueGraveyards]

Thanks a million

[@daphnerosemoon9843]

@rte64rte I have a similar theory. Bit by bit they dug holes and put rocks under it . when that was done the inner earth was removed. Some of these ancient graves were coved over with earth after the body was laid inside but of course over time wind and rain would erode it away. Any way just a thought 😊

[@daphnerosemoon9843]

I watched again and it does seem to sit in a depression in the ground. Also there's two large rocks on one side that could have fallen over.

What is the proof that this was a burial place and how do they know the dates? To me it looks like a very large stone was maybe dumped there during the ice age?
