Summary
| Description |
English: Statues on Easter Island, 18th-century engraving. Discovered in 1721 by the Dutchman Jacob Roggeveen, monumental statues set into the earth on Easter Island seem to symbolize a secret of eternity. To this day, the wooden tablets and the stones, with over five hundred different signs carved by the same hands that erected the statues, remain unintelligible. — Illustration in the book Writing: The Story of Alphabets and Scripts (p. 127) by Georges Jean, translated by Jenny Oates, “Abrams Discoveries” series, 1992. New York: Harry N. Abrams. Description on page 202.

Descubiertos en 1721 por el holandés Jakob Roggeveen, los Moáis, unas monumentales estatuas plantadas en la tierra de la isla de Pascua, parecen simbolizar algún secreto eterno. Hasta la fecha, los símbolos tallados en las tablillas de madera y en las estatuas durante un período de quinientos años por los mismos que erigieron las estatuas permanecen mudos para los investigadores… — Ilustración en el libro La escritura: Memoria de la humanidad (p. 127) por Georges Jean, traducido por Pilar Guerrero Jiménez, colección «Biblioteca ilustrada●Descubrir la arqueología» (nº 15), 2012.
