Ahu Vaihu, Easter Island
Here lie eight toppled moai, their topknots scattered. Personally, this is a good candidate for restoring because of the relatively good shape the moai are in. As with all the moai, they were toppled during the years of civil war. It was customary to humiliate the vanquished by toppling their moai, and hence, their pride.
