T tikibars Tiki Socialite Aku Hall, Chicago Joined: Apr 11, 2002 Posts: 2034	T tikibars Posted posted on Wed, Oct 19, 2005 9:30 PM Thanks for the link, Fil. This is an amazing find. Can't wait for pics to surface. Hope that the developer does the right thing and doesn't get greedy, and I hope that if any of the ancestral families get involved, that they decide to share these images with the world... As Indiana Jones once said "this belongs in a museum!".

People from New England were a bunch of busybodies. Ya still can't find any good tiki around here. The persecution goes back to the 1690s! Look at this old painting I found called 'The Trial of TikiBobbe'

I thought it was something important... I know you are joking, But THIS is a REALLY IMPORTANT FIND. Imagine for a second, that you only had say 240-280 authenticated ORIGINAL 18th century Hawaiian examples of wood sculpture worldwide... And one day, it doubled. Hopefully, this find will increase our (us, and the scientific communities) knowledge of ancient carvings , and provide some new beautiful forms for us all to admire. The fact that no remains were found nearby leads me to believe we will see pictures soon. I did realise the importance so much so that I forwarded this to my sister who lives in Kona and my parents who have a place in Kailua-Kona (spelled wrong?-I'm tired). All kidding aside, it really is ZAZZ. Now hopefully the developers will have a ZAZZ attitude.
