Nobody knows it. All we have is an oral tradition, which itself is very fragmented and very faint because of that reduction of Easter Island's population to just 11 people. And the fact that the elders who were, within historical times, able to read these tablets were all wiped out.

Cuneiform, I think, because of its relationship to later languages, which were known. I mean, cuneiform is a writing system. You find the earliest version, I think, amongst the Sumerians and then in later Babylonian society as well. But when you have a language and you have a language that it's related to that you can read...

Or where you have a text in two different languages, but it's the same text. Then you're in a place where you can begin to translate it. That's what the Rosetta Stone does in ancient Egypt because we have it in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, but we also have it in Greek.
