 The resemblance of the name to an early Mangarevan founder god, "Atu Motua" ("Father Lord"), has made some historians suspect that Hotu Matuꞌa was added to Easter Island mythology only in the 1860s, along with adopting the Mangarevan language.The real founder would have been "Tuꞌu ko Iho", who became just a supporting character in the Hotu Matuꞌa–centric legends.There is considerable uncertainty about the accuracy of this legend as well as the date of settlement.
