Episode Details

In this episode of GL Deep Dives, we journey to the remote island of Rapa Nui — home of the iconic moai statues — to explore an even deeper mystery: Rongorongo, a script carved into wooden tablets that no one has ever fully deciphered. Is it a form of writing? A mnemonic device? Or something entirely different? We dive into the theories, controversies, and cultural context surrounding this enigmatic script and examine what it tells us about the people of Easter Island — and the limits of our historical understanding.
