After exhausting the possibilities for Volcano Terevaka, the next most prominent land features would be Ahu Akivi and Urenga which are located along the ridge between Volcanoes Terevaka and Rano Kau. Using the Ahu/Moai elevated upon the ridge, in conjunction with the nearest pair of coastal Ahu/Moai a direct bearing towards Tahiti and the South Island of New Zealand is revealed.
Along the southeasterly coastline, the total number of Ahu/Moai equals the sum of the northerly and westerly coastlines yet using the same methods of calculation does not provide direction to anywhere significantly related. Nonetheless, the same manner by which some of the Ahu/Moai provide the proper direction, others could also be used to indicate the wrong direction. An interesting observation about the southeasterly coastal Ahu/Moai is how they can be used with each other to find due East and the precise direction to Copiano, another center of culture in South America and when properly aligned due east from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) the 13 Ahu/Moai would appear as only 9, a significant number to both regions found in legend, politics and triangulation.
