Answer to age of Maori Carving at Lake Taupo

This was a trick question or a trick by all the venders trying to get tourists to book trips to see the carvings.  We guessed 1500 or 1000 years.

Answer:  it is 37 years old. Carved in 1978 by artist trained in the ancient Maori style except they only carved in wood, never stone.  Now the two artists are upset that they donated their time and effort without commission and lots of people have made it a money making boat tour.

Diane and Jeff...thank you for playing along. 😊
