Readings of the
rongorongo glyphs: online since 1998
Several Rongorongo Records (Symbolism of Archaic Beliefs)
Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a remote islet in the Pacific Ocean, keeps
many secrets. The real hieroglyphic script, rongorongo, is a feature
of its ancient culture.
Sergei V. Rjabchikov succeeded in decoding these mysterious characters. His
papers are published below.
How to cite the electronic pages of the "RONGORONGO, Easter Island Writing" Home Page in printed papers: like papers. Maintain the link if citing in the World Wide Web. Notice italics on the homepage name. For example:
Rjabchikov, Sergei V., 1999. The Easter Island Rock Art: The Calendar and Birdman Motifs. "RONGORONGO, Easter Island Writing" Home Page (http://oocities.com/script_rongorongo/art12.htm).
I have been studying the Easter Island writing system for many years, and need badly any information about rongorongo inscriptions engraved on Rapanui artifacts (tablets, stones, pendants, skulls and so on). If possible, please send me photocopies of the drawings as well as the sources. I hope that the enthusiasts will continue an active search for new "talking artifacts" (including rongorongo tablets) in private collections and on Easter Island.
