One of the world's most enduring archaeological puzzles is the script found on Easter Island's wooden tablets, known as Rongo Rongo.
Discovered more than 160 years ago, these tablets feature a unique writing system that, to this day, no scientist has been able to fully decipher. The exact nature of the script and what it reveals about the Rapa Nui people's history and culture remain unknown.
The challenge lies in the uniqueness of the writing system, which bears no resemblance to any other known script globally. Research continues, with the hope that one day the secret of these 'talking tablets' will be unlocked.
