Rongorongo

Rongorongo is a system of mysterious, intricate symbols found on Easter Island's wooden tablets and artifacts, believed to be a form of written or proto-writing communication. Discovered in the 19th century, it remains undeciphered despite scholarly efforts, and its exact purpose and meaning are still debated. Some think it recorded genealogies, legends, or rituals, while others see it as an early form of script or mnemonic device. Due to the limited number of surviving artifacts and the absence of bilingual texts, Rongorongo remains one of the world's intriguing linguistic enigmas, offering insights into the island’s ancient culture but resisting full understanding.
