Ndakunimba Stones, Ancient petroglyph site in Dakuniba, Cakaudrove Province, Fiji.
The Ndakunimba Stones consist of 14 stone fragments containing deeply carved angular figures, with the largest piece weighing approximately 40 tons.
Bruce and Sheridan Fahnestock discovered these stone fragments during their 1935-1937 expedition for the American Museum of Natural History.
Local Mabuco people refer to these stones as Vatu Vola, connecting them to ancient maritime routes between Fiji and other Pacific islands.
The site contains remains of a 50-foot-tall monolith that now lies against a hillside, broken into multiple fragments for scientific examination.
The stones feature an undeciphered script with one character resembling the Hebrew letter Yodh, as identified by Israeli researchers in 2016.
