Ancient mythological stones said to represent Cirinakaumoli and Nakausabaria of pre-Christian Fiji

Cirinakaumoli and Nakausabaria were twin gods and grandsons of Degei, the supreme god of the Nakauvadra mountain range. They were worshipped by pre-Christian Fijians. We go to land owned by the Yaqara Pastoral Company Limited but historically belonging to the Vatukoloko people to see the physical representation of these gods in two stones that the ancient Fijians living around Nakauvadra worshipped before the arrival of Christianity. The stones are rare and possibly the only physical manifestation of an ancient way of life still left.

Great video. "Cirinakaumoli" means a floating branch (from an orange/ citrus tree). "Ciri" means float; "na kau" means branch; "moli" means orange or citrus. "Nakausabaria" means bite a branch/ wood - "nakau" means branch/wood; "sa baria" means to bite.
