Welcome to Chronicles of Enigma, where we unravel the mysteries of the past. 🌏✨ In today's episode, we delve into the enigmatic world of Rongorongo, the unique indigenous script of Easter Island. 🗿📜

Rongorongo stands alone as the sole indigenous script in Oceania, discovered over a thousand miles away from any continent. Join us as we explore the origins of this mysterious script, dating back to the 19th century when it was first documented by Eugene Eyraud. 🕵️‍♂️📆

Discover the intentional migrations to Easter Island, the growth of the script from its initial discovery in 1864, and the intriguing question that lingers – What is the true origin of Rongorongo? 🤔🌴 Uncover the early settlements, the construction of Moai statues, and the collapse of the island due to a lack of resources. 🏝️🔍

Journey with us through the accounts of the first monarch, who brought wooden tablets to the island, and the subsequent increase in their numbers over the years. 📚👑 Explore the materials used for inscribing, from banana plant paper to wood, and the debate among early researchers about the tools employed in engraving. 🍌🔨

But the mystery doesn't end there. Witness the disruption caused by Peruvian slave raiders in 1862, leading to the capture or death of skilled individuals, and the subsequent concealment of the sacred tablets from European settlers. 🚫⚔️

Join us as we explore the theories surrounding the origin of Rongorongo, including the controversial connection proposed by Wilhelm de Hevesy between Rongorongo and the Indus script of the Indus Valley Civilization in India. 🇮🇳💬 Delve into recent studies that reignite the debate, suggesting potential contact between the two cultures around 2,000 BC. 🤯🔄
