One other mysterious aspect of Easter Island has been its writing system. Actually, Robert M. Schoch argues that the found calligraphy tablets probably dated even 10,000 years older than what was originally thought. Thus, making the island even older than suspected. While Schoch was deep in ancient Turkish ruins at Gobekli Tepe, he had this epiphany. The idea came from the feeling that the ruins were out of place based on their location. He found many points of comparison between those Gobekli Tepe pillars and the Easter Island Moai.
