In the book Oahu Revealed (an excellent resource and quite funny), the author points the reader to all the wonderful places that locals know.  He also tells the history quite well in bits and pieces. 

One of the places he pointed us to was Pu’u o Mahuku Heiau.  This place is a remnant of a Hawaiian temple.  It’s above Waimea Bay and it possesses quite a view.  This place was a luakini heiau which is a temple where there were human sacrifices.

The road leading to this from the Kam Highway was in a place I knew rather well in my short time in Oahu–it’s where I turned into the Starbucks.  After a few twists and turns up the hill, we came to the road leading to the temple or heiau.  The oddest things we saw upon turning onto the road were these:

I guess this is where modern man makes car sacrifices.  Okay, that was a bad joke.  More pictures coming.

People come and leave offerings here.

This is what remains of the temple.  It’s pretty big.  Isn’t the view amazing?
