Note: this topic is from 12/27/2006. Thanks FLOutdoorsman. A ping because there's a new attempt being made on the rongorongo.

Polish researcher attempts to read a unique writing from Easter Island [09/18/2017]

Despite many question marks, investigators of the mysterious writing established several facts. First and foremost, it is known that rongorongo was used by the aristocracy living on the island - it was not a commonly used writing. Sentences were read in the reverse bustrofedon system - the medium had to be rotated while reading. How could this be determined even though the writing still has not been deciphered? "Sequences of characters are repeating on a few tablets. In some cases they go to the next line of text, and in others, they continue in one line" - said Wieczorek.
