Introduction to the Vaka Stone Carvings: The Papa Vaka Group of Stone Carvings (Papa Vaka) is the largest stone carving monument on Easter Island. Due to its long-term exposure to the outside, many stone carvings are no longer clear. The stone carving group includes three main stone carving groups: Papa mango, Papa vaka, and Papa Mangai. Papa means stone carving, mango means whale, vaka means boat, and mangai means marine life. Today, the clearest and largest stone carving is Papa Vaka, about 12 meters long, showing squid, crabs and other marine life.
