Ahu Akivi

Well given we were already at these Ahu anyway, we went and checked them out.  They are one of the few inland Ahu that actually face outwards (normally they face inwards from the sea). Despite being inland, they are still positioned to face sunset during Spring and Autumn Equinox and supposedly their backs are still towards the sunrise during Spring and Autumn Equinox.
