Ever heard of Easter Island? The original population hasn't been around for a long time. That's why the language is gone.
The only things that are still there are stone heads and some written symbols. However, some things have been discovered and understood about the writing.
That's where the myth of the Easter Bunny comes from, obviously. I know, because I read stone headese. ?

That is so relatable, did one of you write this? In all seriousness, I don't know whether or not to envy the people working on that. On one hand, they don't have any kind of images, clear parallels to plaintexts, or other preserved background information to provide clues for their contents. On the other hand, they can at least work with full confidence that the writing contains meaning.
