An Expedition into Astonishing Global Mysteries
The Moai of Easter Island: Ancient objects holding a series of carved symbols were unearthed on the world-renowned Easter Island, a small remote island located a few thousand miles west of South America and notable for the hundreds of gigantic monolithic humanoid statues known as Moai. The elaborate designs appear to be glyphs or a type of writing, but their meaning has never been determined. Some believe that deciphering the cryptic inscription could provide insight into what led the ancient Easter Island society to collapse. The Rongorongo script was found by Eugene Eyraud, a Roman Catholic lay friar who arrived on Easter Island as a missionary on January 2nd, 1864. The age of the tablets is unknown due to a lack of accurate dating; however, they are thought to have originated during the 13th century, around the time of forest clearings. This is purely theoretical, as the Easter Islanders may have felled a few trees specifically for the purpose of manufacturing the wooden tablets. One glyph resembles a palm tree and is likely to represent the Easter Island palm, which vanished from the island's pollen record around 1650, implying the script is at least that old. While it is uncertain what the Rongorongo is meant to represent, the discovery and examination of the tablets remain a crucial element in understanding Easter Island's former civilizations.
