l am Tongan and of course, growing up there as a child we never thought of how big these Ha'amonga 'O Maui is. l think the most impressive thing is that not just how heavy they are but the two vertical support or post is slotted to receive the horizontal member or the header. For as heavy as the horizontal member is they have to make sure that it fits because it is not coming out once they slide on the horizontal member or header.
Those big ancient trees (e.g. 12:57 & 17:12) seem to be pushing the stone slabs... If their age is known, then those slabs will be older. Thank you for the tour!
Are you allowed to climb up onto the top of the first monument. I did so once about 40 years ago, but I have heard since that this is illegal. Can soeone fil me in please?
Well if Johnny Lingo was the Greatest Sea trader of all of the Tongan, Polynesia etc Islands, then surely it follows that they were the rulers of the Pacific ocean 👍
Every region of the world has been attached with wonderful monuments whatever the historical background touch with them. Definitely it increase the curiosity to visit the place.
Thanks for the vid brother.. i am of tongan decent and yes those langis are very ancient history built by our fore fathers💪🏾😎 appreciate your fascination with our culture , may peace and good health be upon you and your family✌🏾🙏🏾😊🇹🇴
A tradition ingrew up with and taught in school was that the kings two sons built it with yheir bare hands. Lifted and put in place by the brother. We have alot if giant stories and stories if great warriors whom are actual giants

The truth is in the king’s palace tongas history remains history the king won’t allow the real truth to boast about our past cz we were a kingdom empire at one stage but a lot of dark things happen and it’s probably not a good idea to tell our past
Tonga trithon was built around 13th Century by 11th Tu'i Tonga Tu'itatui and his people mixed people of Tongans, Samoans, Wallisans, Fijians etc and during his reign of the empire. It tells of wonder and mighty of Tu'i Tonga Empire and Tongans. Great Symbol of Tongan Wisdom, Power of Oral language Communication, Power and Existence before Europeans arrived on land in the 18th Century. Great Ancient Tongan Ingenuity in the South Pacific Ocean.
No the Chinese went to Tonga yesterday so please don't confuse history scientist are trying to say that Asians are descendants of Polynesian people ummmmmm yeah you can clearly see the resemblance between us and Asians it's uncanny pffffft please I'm a poly combo Maori Tongan and yes I look like a Chinese with this DNA 🙄
@@originalclaymoreboy728 “Polynesians” (geocultural construct) that are not mixed with recent immigration from Asia typically look nothing like them (Asia is a huge region so I am including all regions of Asia as well as all populations including “negritos” who actually have a somewhat closer resemblance to my ancestors but are way to short). There was a huge population collapse on many islands (90% or more) so the white plantation owners brought in loads of immigrant labor from Asia. I am mixed between “Polynesian” and “Asian” (Chinese) ancestry and I don’t look like any kind of “Asian” person (neither does my immediate family) and my Polynesian ancestors certainly didn’t. The person in my profile picture is “Polynesian” (Hawaiian/Kanaka Oiwi). That’s what most of my Polynesian ancestors looked like. In regard to language; many people speak languages and are not related. For example, I speak English but am not an Anglo-Saxon. The “Austronesian” language is one of the most widely spoken language families on Earth. In Oceania the people of Buka Island Bougainville, Fiji, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Marquesas, Rapa Nui, etc. speak languages within the family.
It has been found out by the Tongan National American Society that the Hamo'onga Maui huge standing stones, other masonary works, stone works or marble works of Tonga nd around the Pacific islands were engineered by Fijian influence .If that was so, then no doubt that Fijians did built all those megalithic sites around the world. Since they had their own form of transportation both in the air nd sea. It should be a great possibility for them to reach any parts of the earth with their big seabuses double hulled Drua canoes nd their flight machine like todays aeroplane known as "valevuka"(flight house) in Fijian legends.
Was any of these awesome stone works, which were obviously made by non-Chinese people, destroyed by the nuke that was detonated not too far away just a few months ago? And then, why the somewhat elusive camera work documenting the "stones" shoddily, and at a distance.... given a closer look, the "stone" almost looks like semi ancient concrete composed of lime and pebbles, but I am not there and my view is only composed of opinion, and the fact one is not given a proper chance to visually inspect the subject of this film.... merely constructive criticism due to questionably elusive photography.... Cheers!
No other race did it. The reason why? They wouldn't have lasted a day amongst cannibals. All polys were cannibals and the Chinese would be like sushi then! LoL
Please, you might start your narration with proper pronunciation. It's amazing how this part seems to be completely ignored in fact if one was in Europe, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate their language trampled.
I got nothing constructive to say other than your films are incredible. Some incredible magical places. You touch people's lives with your films.
These blocks are very impressive, like to see these places, plus anything with lentil stones are an accomplishment, thx megalithomaniaUK...cA

Are they pre flood or younger dryas I wonder possibly a culture that was washed away.

Really?

Wasn't even called Tonga all Polynesian islands were called by there names until the whites came with their bible

These could be super ancient.
Interesting ! Thank you !
🇨🇦✌️❤️
Thank you for going places I want to see! Recommend the mounds in the Willamette Valley, Albany to Brownsville Oregon. USA
Interesting place, but your camera panning was a bit too fast to get a good look at the stones.
It was filmed in 2014 with an older camera. We now have better equipment.
@@MegalithomaniaUK Thanks, and keep up the good work.
you can also pause the video if you want to see things due to camera moving a bit fast etc.
Any tradition of legends of giants from the people of Tonga?
Yes

Did the Olmec people become Polynesian peoples of today after the collapse of their Empire before recorded history?
Highly doubt it but there are alot of tribes in south america with the same names and villages in eastern polynesia
@@originalclaymoreboy728Eastern Polynesia come from Tongas nut sacks lol
Does anyone know if they’ve done lidar tests on these sites? I’d love to see what’s buried beneath without moving any earth.
My gosh that's genius
Hugh if you can film bits of the birds, nature at sights such as this would be cool to document the various wildlife species...
This isn't the National Geographic channel?
i'll do my best. I'm doing more of that nowadays. This was filmed way back in 2014.
