This small museum holds the island’s only remaining examples of the Rongorongo Tablets, the evidence of Easter Island’s original language. These tablets, made from a soft wood, were carved using a shark’s tooth. Interestingly, a culture developing its own alphabet from scratch has only happened five times in the world’s history (Mesopotamia, Mexico, Egypt, China and Easter Island).
