Flat Stone

The Marquesas


At the northern entrance of the village there’s a large flat stone that you can walk out onto to see a view of the village and bay. It’s now used to dry copra, but in ancient times it had the more grisly job of drying human remains before they were transported in a pirogue up the mountain for ‘burial’.
