The Ahu Huri a Urenga is one of the 25 platforms that are not found in the coast, but in the interior of the island and corresponds to an agricultural zone, of human settlements. The ahu was restored by William Mulloy in 1976, within his works of recovery of the archaeological heritage. It is a platform 13 meters long by 4 meters wide, with a single moai that has the peculiarity of presenting two pairs of hands. It is not known exactly why it is so designed. It is presumed that it could have been engraved twice or that, due to the wear of its base, product of the transfer from Rano Raraku, new arms were carved so that it was proportional to the rest of the body. Another possibility is that this form represented some deformity that could affect in the time in which it was sculpted. On the back of the ahu there is a cremation platform, a position that is repeated in most of the island’s ahu. It is believed that this structure was used for funeral rituals. Zoom In. 4K Resolution.
