A massive work of art dating back at least 500 years has resurfaced along the beaches of Hawai’i.
Although usually obscured by the Pacific Ocean’s waters, a 115-foot-long sequence of ancient petroglyphs is visible once again on Oahu’s western coast near the Pililaau Army Recreation Center.
The first Polynesian sailors arrived on the Hawaiian islands as early as 940 CE.
Archeological records indicate the first people to arrive and settle on the Hawaiian islands were Polynesian sailors around 940–1200 CE.
They are actually located on the western coast.
