Tiki was the name of the first great chief on Tahiti. He was regarded by the inhabitants as their divine ancestor, and stone statues of South America type were erected in his honor on many islands.

When we crept to bed that night in our little pile hut, old Tei Tetua’s stories of Tiki and the islanders’ old home beyond the sea continued to haunt my brain, accompanied by the muffled roar of the surf in the distance. It sounded like a voice from far off times, which, it seemed, had something it wanted to tell, out there in the night. I could not sleep. It was as though time no longer existed, and Tiki and his seafarers were just landing in the urf on the beach below. A thought suddenly stuck me and I said to my wife “Have you noticed the huge stone figures of Tiki in the jungle are remarkably like the monoliths left by extinct civilizations of South America?” ~ Page 6
