"This is the fundamental Principle for the making of star calendar in the name of star Goddess at the point of Vernal Equinox.

Though at first taken for a Rosetta Stone of rongorongo, it has not led to an understanding of the script. It has been criticized for, among other inadequacies, glossing five glyphs as "porcelain", a material not found on Easter Island. However, this is a mistranslation: Jaussen glossed the five glyphs as porcelaine, French for both "cowrie" and the cowrie-like Chinese ceramic which is called porcelain in English. Jaussen's Rapanui gloss, pure, means specifically "cowrie".[note 5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decipherment_of_rongorongo
Cowrie shells were used widely in group ceremonies and religious rites around the old world, the etymology of cowrie may relate to kohen/coptian/keftiu? Cowries were traded very widely around the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowry http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cowrie
Early writing was done on many surfaces, but only rarely on hard stone tablets, mostly on banana & palm leaves etc.

Japan doll: daruma/dharma, spirit, drama
Zuni doll: kachina, spirit, dance. Kachina must have been named for the "lost" Japanese {Cohen/Koshinto/Guozen/Kahin/Kahuna} male pilgrims that started the Zuni tribe with local Penutian women. The oldest Kachina dolls resemble the painted daruma dolls.
