Just as @antonioguterres spoke with kids in Tonga about disaster preparedness, an earthquake struck.

Thankfully nobody was hurt & early warning systems soon confirmed there was no tsunami threat.

The UN is helping ensure early warning systems for all: https://t.co/CXA0OpwoNZ

Lidar of 1500-year-old Mala'e Vakapuna mound on Tongatapu, Tonga #FridayLidar
It is currently the best-dated structure in West Polynesia, and its early date suggests politically complex chiefdoms developed there before eastern islands were settled.

[🅰ntiquity Journal @AntiquityJ]

NEW Radiocarbon dating of Tonga's oldest known earth mound places it around AD 500. Large monuments are a key indicator of centralised chiefdoms, suggesting that political complexity developed much earlier than previously believed.
