He thinks he has a good game for a game show contestant, in part because, according to him, Carol Merrill was a model on TPIR. Nobody corrected him and said Carol Merrill was on the original Let's Make a Deal.

A. Stonehenge
B. Machu Picchu
C. Easter Island
D. Pyramids of Giza

I've heard that Incan messengers carried their messages as a series of intricate knots tied in string, but I never heard of them using a "written" language. I don't recall hearing of Rongorongo, either, but since the writing is indecipherable, we can presume the name is something anthropologists made up and not original to the ancient people in question. "Rongorongo" has a definite South Pacific sound to it, so Easter Island would have been my answer.

The name sounds Polynesian, so I'd have gone with Easter Island.
