Lost City of the Goats

The humans who built this place have been gone for maybe hundreds of years. Lucky them because it smells like goat pee.

I had no idea what I was in for. We had already had a perfect day visiting Kealakekua Bay and Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park.

I told her, “just grab some versatile amphibious footwear and I’ll pick you up at the airport”

Also known as the City of Refuge, the sanctuary boasts 17 foot thick walls and fresh water pools.

Hawaii has a violent history. People fleeing violence were welcomed at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau

Then we found out about the 1871 trail

if you see the magic hat you know there’s adventure afoot.

one of those days where you feel like an urbansurvivorman

with a dip in Pele’s hot tub

and then finish the day with some rombutons!

rombutans are like huge grapes with a pit on the inside, surrounded by an alien looking husk

discovering the ruins of an ancient island paradise

Jessie Sponberg — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 15:35:15 +0000

who the heck built all these rock walls all over the Big Island? nobody really knows.

Hawaiian culture has zero problem embracing their origins among the stars. Conversations of the original inhabitants of these South Pacific paradises always eventually lead back to the space gods who came. It’s not hard to imagine a huge spaceship showing up at Kealakekua like Captain Cook did, or at South Point where the first wave of inner-island brown colonizers arrived.

“just because white people couldn’t do it doesn’t mean it was aliens”
everyone who didn’t actually do the math

many of these rocks are of tremendous size

and the walls go on forever
