About: Rongorongo text B

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Rongorongo is a system of glyphs discovered in the 19th century on Easter Island that appears to be writing or proto-writing. Text B of the rongorongo corpus, also known as Aruku Kurenga, is one of two dozen surviving rongorongo texts. Aruku Kurenga provided part of the "Jaussen List", a failed key of rongorongo glyphs. Jaussen's informant, Metoro Tauꞌa Ure, "read" the tablet correctly from the bottom left of the recto, but the transcription of his reading has been of no use in understanding the script.
