This remote eastern outpost of Polynesia is one of the most fascinating of the islands of Oceania. This is not only due to the incredible moai that dot the landscape but also the sophisticated Rongorongo which is the only form of written language of Oceania.

There is too much to be learned about Easter Island and in particular the understanding of the rare and unique Rongorongo which has still defied complete interpretation.
