During the Alabasta arc when the crew was crossing the desert, Luffy, Zoro and
Chopper fell down a hole which led to a big dome-like structure. In the dome,
there was a huge stone with Poneglyphs written on it. None of them knew what
it was much less its meaning. It was dismissed. What I'm wondering is if those
Poneglyphs was important and whether or not it had some clues about the Void
Century?

question
one-piece
What were those Poneglyphs from the Alabasta arc?


As you can see from this [list](http://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-
piece), episodes
[101](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_101)-[102](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_102)
which Luffy, Zoro and Chopper find the Poneglyph it's actually a [filler
episode](http://urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=filler).

So this Poneglyph wasn't introduced in the manga, so that means that whatever
was wrote on it doesn't matter.

I have one speculation.

In Alabasta, there are 2 Poneglyph. One was at the Tomb of the Kings and the
other in the desert. Tomb of the Kings has the info about the location of
Pluton according to King Cobra, but if you re-watch and re-read the arc
closely, you will notice that Alabasta has two Palace. The current one and one
which is destroyed due to age and the desert not being inhabitable (or some
other cause).

My speculation is that the former Palace was surrounded by domes due to it
being the former capital city. If I remember right, Alabasta was the only
country that the King did not leave for Marijoise which is really suspicious.
I'm guessing that the King was entrusted with one of the key Poneglyph that
tell or is a part of the Rio Poneglyph. But since the world government we
going on a hunting spree for any book or memory about the Void Century, the
King decided to move his capital city to its current position and leave the
other Poneglyph in the desert where no one will find it.

Since the Poneglyph in the desert was a non-canon episode, there is no meaning
in its existence.

There is only one Poneglyph in Alabasta that Cobra showed Robin. The capital
was moved because of the war and destruction. So, in the end, there is no
confusion, as according to the creator of _One Piece_ that is Oda, only one
Poneglyph exists in Alabasta and the anime makers just did a filler to hype
things up.

They might be Pluton as they say later in the show, because they didn't know
what it is and they said that "someone" was trying to hide it.

I think that this Poneglyph might contain some real information, not about
weapons but about Void Century. Then someone from Wano must have made another
Poneglyph as a decoy for Alabasta King after moving the capital while only one
or two persons would have had the knowledge of the existence of that
Poneglyph, making it hard for World Government to locate and destroy real
treasure and after some generation of the family, the secret must have lost.

This was actually addressed shortly after this episode came out by the anime
team, and I quote "What was that Poneglyph in the cave where Zoro, Chopper,
and Luffy fell into?" Kōnosuke Uda "How did that get there, Zoro's luck led
him to the Poneglyph that tells the history of Alabasta".

Funny thing is, when you put the writings in a Google Translator, it only
translates one letter and it gives you "machine".
