We visited the birthing stones (Kukaniloko) on one of our Tuesday adventures. It is the place where ali'i were born, in the central plains of O'ahu. This particular stone was carved and used as a sun dial - there is a concentric ring in the middle of the stone. It was used to mark different seasons as light would cast a shadow right through the middle of the concentric circle during the solstice.
