The Tahai Ceremonial Complex is an archaeological site on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), in Chilean Polynesia [1]. Restored in 1974 by American archaeologist William Mulloy, the complex comprises three principal ahu (stone platforms) running north to south: Ko Te Riku, Tahai, and Vai Ure [1]. From this ceremonial center, visitors can see two additional restored ahu at Hanga Kio'e, which Mulloy restored in 1972 [1]. The site is now part of the Rapa Nui National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site [2].
