Or the sea level is dropping.
But this is impossible. All I heard over the last 15 years is how much the ocean levels have been rising at a dangerous rate.
Really interesting stuff.
Early natural Hawaii must’ve been gorgeous.wish we knew more.
The 2016 story said they were created “more than 400 years ago”.
The 2025 story says they “may have been created 600 years ago”. Interesting change in timing in the two stories.
Europeans found the islands about 247 years ago.

“Experts believe that they appear to tell a ceremonial story, and that the largest figure, which is shown with one arm raised and the other lowered, may represent the rising and setting sun.”
I follow some guy on youtube that explores the American SW and he comes across similar figures and other symbols. He’s no expert, but he says the “experts” tell him they can only guess at what the various symbols mean.
The animals are pretty obvious, but does a wavy line mean a snake or something else. The various shapes for the people vary as well with hands in different positions, etc. but they don’t understand their meanings.
He did find some images depicting 6 digits on each hand. That IS a genetic thing, and is still exhibited by natives in the region. Along with other findings I think those individuals had a higher status.
