In the Pacific there's an island called Rapa Nui. They have a long forgotten script that looks remarkably similar, but probably that's a pure concidence.
The approach is purely cryptographic and requires three base axioms

1. A guess of what type of script it is - Logopgraphic (Chinese)or Syllabic (Linear Greek) or Segmental (English/Roman).

2. A guess on what any one symbol might mean - by trial and error

3. A set of all the possible languages that might have been present in that area around that time
