  • Captain James Cook, 1728-79, British explorer, attending a human sacrifice at Otaheiti on the island of Tahiti, in the Windward Islands, French Polynesia, in 1777, detail of an engraving after John Webber, 1751-93. John Webber accompanied Captain Cook on his 3rd Pacific expedition. In times of war or famine, a man would sometimes be sacrificed to the gods. He would be killed with a club or by stoning and attached to a pole while the priest (sitting here at his feet) recited incantations, then the body buried in a pit in the ground.

  • Prayer area with standing stone at Marae Matai Rea, once the most important marae at Maeva, where the chief would sit on his throne during ceremonies, at the archaeological site at Maeva village, on Huahine-Nui on the island of Huahine, in the Leeward Islands, part of the Society Islands, in French Polynesia. This marae is now in ruins but consisted of a stone courtyard with platform and standing stones, used as a ceremonial and religious site. These sites were home to the royal chieftains encountered by James Cook and were abandoned c. 1800. Maeva is thought to be an abandoned royal settlement, with many megalithic structures including marae, houses, agricultural structures, stone fish traps and fortification walls.
