Many of the glyphs are remarkably similar to petroglyphs found around the world. See Peratt's work:

Perhaps the ultimate origin of the script is another example (assuming Peratt's hypothesis is correct) of humans witnessing a dramatic light show in the sky and "recording" the evolving shapes of the plasmoids using the resources available to them (rocks, wood, etc).
Much later, when the light show was no longer in living memory, the drawings were copied and perhaps reinterpreted by descendants into a language/story:
According to oral tradition, knowledge of rongorongo was restricted to a class of priests known as tangata rongorongo; and there is some indication that, before Eyraud’s visit, they had been kept in special houses, where clans gathered to hear them read or recited.
