Rongorongo: Found on wooden tablets from Easter Island, Rongorongo consists of intricate glyphs carved in boustrophedon style. These glyphs depict humans, animals, and geometric shapes, possibly linked to Polynesian oral traditions. Despite numerous attempts, no confirmed translation exists. The script emerged after European contact, raising questions about its origins—indigenous development or inspired by foreign writing? With fewer than 30 surviving tablets, and no bilingual texts, decipherment remains stalled. Rongorongo stands as one of Oceania’s greatest linguistic mysteries, potentially holding the lost history of the Rapa Nui people.
