The construction of the massive tombs was a way to demonstrate the spiritual and political power of the Tu’i Tonga. Langi's are platforms of earth with a stepped pyramid effect supported by carefully placed retaining walls. Some of the stones used to make the Langi are believed to have come from 'Uvea and Futuna. Large numbers of workers were needed to construct the Langi, as some stones measure up to 18 feet in length.
