The Ahu Te Pito Kura is reputedly the largest moai ever placed on an ahu (9.8 meters high, 82 tonnes) but now lays flat down and broken in half - probably destroyed by missionaries ~1838 (per Bradt Chile travel guide). We didn't even take a picture of the moai - only the sign. I tried to feel the "energy" of the large round stone called Te Pito Te Henua aka "navel of the world" but felt nothing.
