      @@aclstudios My dude the """dark age""" is an anglo meme because in the 5th century they were still barbarians banging rocks in mud huts
      Things only got better for the cursed isles when modern finance capitalism was invented in the netherlands then saw an easy prey/host in said mud hut dwelling retards(who at the time were no longer dwelling in mud huts)

  • @TheYuccaPlant
    @TheYuccaPlant Рік тому +6

    I think the most logical theory is that the rongorongo script is a descendant of indus valley script, the areas the people went through from there to easter island were not as lucky to be preserved like in mesopotamia and surrounding areas to find out about its whole history.
    I hate how researchers dismiss plausible theories because they either lack an empathic imagination or have racial prejudices to easily dismiss their potentially longer history than their own.
