[edit]

La photo que vous avez insérée ne ressemble en aucun cas au tangata manu avec rongorongo relevé par Barthel (anon. edit by Anne Koessler, 15:28, 2008 February)

That depends what you mean by 'resemble'. It illustrates what a tangata manu statuette is. If you have a better photo, by all means help us out! kwami (talk) 01:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, got a photo of the actual object. — kwami (talk) 05:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deciphered

[edit]

"The crown holds the wisdom of the ancestors, shining like the stars.

The lower jaw speaks the words of the past, carrying the voices of the great ones.

The neck joins the heavens and the earth, where the spirits breathe.

The breast is the seat of life, where the sacred pulse of the people beats.

The belly holds the fire of creation, the source of strength and renewal.

The flanks move like the waves, carrying the body forward on the path.

The feet stand upon the land, grounding the soul in the sacred cycle." 2601:246:5F84:B970:49F4:AFC3:B318:181D (talk) 18:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
