Abstract
The paper presents, for the first time, various photographs of Rapanui Manuscript E, discovered in the Archives of
the Kon-Tiki Museum in the correspondence between Thor Heyerdahl and Max Puelma Bunster. Despite some of
these images being out of focus, they show that the manuscript does not always follow the pagination known from
Barthel’s 1978 book “The Eighth Land: The Polynesian Discovery and Settlement of Easter Island.” One of the
pages does not appear at all in Barthel’s transcription. Two pages with clearly distinguishable rongorongo signs
can be extremely important for the future studies of Rapanui script.
