The mysterious stones of Tonga
by Zoe
Near a small village in Tonga there are three large stones. Two are standing up. And the third stone lies across the top of the two stone and i am going to give facts about it
Who built it
Because the stones are so big some people believe that the ha’amonga was buit by maui. Only god could do work of this size they say.
Why was it built
Some people think it was for the king’s daughter and his two son’s. The to stones that are standing up are his son’s and the one that is lying on the two stones is his daughter
How did they built
People cut big blocks of stone from the coast. Then hundreds of people dragged the stone to the building site using strong ropes. they dug two huge holds for the side stones. Once the side Stones were in place they used earth to make a ramp. then they dragged the lintel stone up the ramp on to another side stones. After that they took away the earth ramp.
