Ha'amonga'a Maui Trilithon的点评
点评：Ha'amonga A Maui - the burden of Maui - was constructed around a thousand years ago by King Tu'itatui. His name means the King who hits the knees, as he would hit out with his staff at anyone who approached him too closely. He would watch the construction of the trilithon, leaning against a large nearby rock named 'Esi Makafaakinanga, in case he was attacked from behind.
The trilithon may be a symbol of unity between his two sons, a gateway to the royal compound, or an agricultural monument. In the 1960s, the then King - Taufa'ahau Tupou IV - posited that the grooves cut on the top of the trilithon indicated the solstices. He had paths cleared to the coast along those bearings, and they do indeed line up, but it is probable that the cuts on the lintel were made some time after the trilithon was built.
It's only open ground now, but head on across the lawns behind the trilithon - this area was once the Mala'e, where the King received tribute from other islands, such as Niue and Wallis. Beyond this is a small tomb, the Langi Heketa, prototype of the much larger tombs at Mu'a/Lapaha, and Tu'itatui may be buried there.
Beyond this, is a narrow track that descends through a gap in the upraised reef, to a little golden sand beach, with shallow clear water. I wonder if only Royals were allowed to swim here, in days gone by. In the bush around the site are other platforms, where the more important buildings of the day - long gone, due to being built of wood and thatch, would have stood, including Tu'itatui's house.

翻译：哈阿蒙加·毛伊（Ha'amonga A Maui）——毛伊的重担——由图伊塔图伊国王于约一千年前建造。他的名字意为“击打膝盖的国王”，因为他会挥舞权杖击打任何靠近他的人。他会倚靠在附近一块名为“埃西·马卡法基南加”（Esi Makafaakinanga）的巨石上，注视着三石塔的建造过程，以防遭到背后袭击。
三石塔或许是他两个儿子团结的象征，或许是通往皇家庭院的门户，又或许是一座农业纪念碑。20世纪60年代，当时的国王——陶法阿豪·图普四世（Taufa'ahau Tupou IV）——认为三石塔顶部的刻纹指示着至日。他沿着这些方位开辟了通往海岸的道路，这些道路确实排列整齐，但门楣上的刻纹很可能是在三石塔建成后不久刻上的。
现在这里只是一片空地，但请穿过三石塔后面的草坪——这片区域曾经是马拉埃岛，国王在此接受纽埃和瓦利斯等其他岛屿的进贡。再往前走，是一座小型陵墓，名为兰吉·赫克塔（Langi Heketa），是穆阿/拉帕哈（Mu'a/Lapaha）那些更大陵墓的原型，图伊塔图伊可能就埋葬于此。
再往前走，是一条狭窄的小路，穿过隆起的礁石缝隙，通往一片金色的小沙滩，海水清澈浅浅。我不禁想，在过去，是否只有皇室成员才能在这里游泳。遗址周围的灌木丛中还有其他平台，那里曾矗立着当时一些更重要的建筑——由于是用木头和茅草建造的，如今早已不复存在——包括图伊塔图伊的房子。
