DTM-generated profile of the horizon to the east as seen from heiau KIP-414. The horizontal bars indicate the direction of orientation of the main axis and the central wall on the western side. The solid shaded line indicates the rising path of the sun at the June solstice; the dash-and-dot line indicates the rising path of the sun at the equinoxes; and the dotted line indicates the rising path of the Pleiades in AD 1600. For a commentary see page 240 of the book. (Graphic by Andrew Smith)
