Rongorongo tablets

Rongorongo tablets are wooden objects from Easter Island, featuring a unique system of glyphs believed to be a form of proto-writing or early script. Discovered in the 19th century, their purpose remains largely mysterious, as the symbols have not been fully deciphered. The glyphs are carved into tablets and other artifacts, possibly used for ceremonial, genealogical, or calendrical purposes. Despite ongoing research, Rongorongo remains one of the world's few undeciphered writing systems, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island’s ancient culture and communication methods.
