A rare and awe-inspiring sight has emerged on the shores of Oahu: ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs, buried under sand for years, have dramatically reappeared thanks to shifting tides and seasonal waves.

Etched into sandstone centuries ago, more than two dozen human-like stick figures are now fully visible at a beach near a U.S. Army recreation center in Waianae — their first complete appearance in nearly a decade. The carvings become most vivid at low tide, as gentle ocean swells brush away the neon-green algae and sand that typically conceal them.

These petroglyphs, believed to be at least 600 years old, span an astonishing 115 feet along the beach. Some of the figures appear to include symbolic details like raised arms and even male genitalia — features experts say could indicate ceremonial or spiritual meaning. Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner Glen Kila, whose ancestors lived in the area for generations, interprets the largest figure as representing the rising and setting sun. He believes the carvings are more than just historic artwork — they’re a warning from the past.

“It’s telling the community that the ocean is rising,” Kila said.

Their reemergence is being hailed as both a spiritual message and a powerful reminder of Hawaii’s rich cultural legacy — one that, for now, lies open to the world until the sands shift once more.
