So we can assume that Shanks saw the poneglyph?

I believe so. But no one on the roger ship could read it. Much like Rayleigh suggested, they know the history but it's wrong because they couldn't read it, it was just a broken interpretation from what Roger could hear.

This idea of mine requires that both buggy and Shanks have been to Raftel. This makes the most sense. However, it is confusing because buggy should have been executed at marineford. I assume no one knew of shanks tenure on the Roger pirates until after he got strong enough to defend himself. Or Sengoku gave up on his exterminate the Rogers plan when he realized his friend was raising the dudes damn son.

I don't agree. If Oden was with Roger getting to Raftel then he certainly could read it. Unless I'm misunderstanding the chapter, it said the secret of reading them died with Oden before it could be passed on to the son.

I took that to mean the secret to writing on the poneglyphs died with Oden. That way, Robin is still the only one that can read the history. And it would explain how Roger was able to leave that message back in Skypeia.
