Ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs and Russian sleeper agents are the respective ancients exposed in Hawai'i and on the Hawaii Five-0 television series' eighth season finale episode, Waiho Wale Kahiko, May 18, 2018.

Director Bryan Spicer and writers Eric Guggenheim and Peter M. Lenkov build Season 8's 25th episode around an 'ōlelo a'o (advice) about bringing mysteries to light. The series' 193rd episode overall correlates rogue Russian submarines within coastal waters off Honolulu with Russian embassy cover-ups and with Russian sleeper agent conspiracies on O'ahu. Cousins Kamekona Tupuola (Taylor Wily) and Flippa Tupuola (Shawn Mokuahi Garnett) draw silent partner status in Steve McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) and Danny Williams' (Scott Caan) restaurant.

Eventual evidence for Chinatown neighbors of behind-the-scenes experienced expertise emerges as another example of ancients exposed because of the entrepreneurs' ethnicity as native Hawaiians, as ancients.

Adam Noshimuri (Ian Anthony Dale) finding out about half-sister Noriko (Susan Park), but not why Hiro Noshimuri (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) fathered her, fits among ancient forces exposed.

The Hawaiian Islands get ancient enigmas, mysteries and puzzles, beyond those given to Hawaii Five-0 Task Force members, in ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs. Every one of the Hawaiian Islands has some of the more than 23,000 ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs that ancient Hawaiians honed out of volcanic basalt rock. The most impressive of 10-plus insular incidences is on Hawai'i, with the Big Island's Anaeho'omalu, Kahalu'u, Kaloko-Honokōhau, Ka'upulehu, Puako, Pu'uloa and Waikoloa ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs.

Seven other inhabited islands juggle such ki'i pōhaku as Kaua'i's figures looking seaward, like Easter Island mo'ai (from Rapa Nui, "statue"), and O'ahu's Kaupe ghost dog.

Glen Kila, lineal descendant of ancient Hawaiians in O'ahu's Waimea area, knows of ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs as stone documents: "They record our genealogy and religion."

Kila laments modern misinterpretations since "The interpretation of these petroglyphs can only be interpreted by the lineal descendants who are familiar with its history and culture." Peter T. Young's Ho'okuleana blog May 12, 2012, mentions ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs as made into smooth boulders, caves, cliff faces, lava tubes and pāhoehoe lava. Pāhoehoe lava nets the most numerous smooth-surface bird, canoe, chicken, circle, dancer, dog, dot, feathered cape, marcher, paddler, sailor, ship and turtle ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs.

'A'ā lava opposes ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs because 436.35-foot- (133-meter) hourly flow speeds occasion angular, dense, rough-bottomed, rough-topped 3.28- to 32.81-foot- (1- to 10-meter-) thick fragments.

High-volume flow rates, fast-flow front velocities and steep slopes produce a few flow-resistant, insulation-poor, large, thick 'a'ā lava blocks and clinkers with maximum 31.69-plus-mile (51-plus-kilometer) lengths.

Low-volume flow from volcanic vent temperatures between 2012 and 2192 degrees Fahrenheit (1100 and 1200 degrees Celsius), slow-flow seeds and gentle slopes queue up pāhoehoe lava. Heat-retaining, flow-friendly, tear-resistant, pāhoehoe lava realizes 0.79- to 1.97-inch (2- to 5-centimeter) flow rates per second and 3.28- to 32.81-foot (1- to 10-meter) hourly front-flow speeds. Numerous smooth-surfaced, 11.42-inch- (29-centimeter-) thick, 3.28- to 6.56-foot- (1- to 2-meter-) long, 11.81- to 19.68- inch- (30- to 50-centimeter-) wide "toes" support ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs.

Eruptions, golf courses, resorts and tremors threaten ki'i pōhaku Hawaiian petroglyphs that trekkers such as Eddie, McGarrett and Junior Reigns (Beulah Koale) perhaps travel past unawares.
