These altars consist of a single shaft, generally of vesicular lava, but in some cases cut from the material of which the images and crowns were, made. They range in height from 5 to 10 feet, squared to 3\u00bd or 4 feet on each face, and stand in the center of a terrace paved with smooth bowlders.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Te Pito Te Henua, or Easter Island: Sacrificial Stones","tradition":"Sacred Texts -- Pacific Islander Religions","translated_text":null,"word_count":183}
