The Rongorongo tablets are a set of wooden boards from Easter Island, covered with glyph-like symbols. Their meaning has not been deciphered, and little is known about how they were used.
Authentic rongorongo texts are written in alternating directions, a system called reverse boustrophedon. In a third of the tablets, the lines of text are inscribed in shallow fluting carved into the wood. The glyphs themselves are outlines of human, animal, plant, artifact and geometric forms. Many of the human and animal figures, have characteristic protuberances on each side of the head, possibly representing eyes.
