The Rosetta Stone finding and its interpretation.
What is the Rosetta Stone? The Rosetta Stone is a stone with writing on it in two languages (Egyptian and Greek), using three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek).
The Rosetta Stone was carved in 196 B.C., found in 1799 in a small village in the Delta called Rosetta (Rashid)by French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt.
Why is it called the Rosetta Stone? It is called the Rosetta Stone because it was discovered in a town called Rosetta (Rashid).
After many years of studying the Rosetta Stone and other examples of ancient Egyptian writing, Jean-François Champollion deciphered the egyptian hieroglyphs in 1822.

My first thought was Woodstock, but then i thought it would be awesome to see the construction of the pyramids and talk to the aliens who constructed them...

From that, egyptian hieroglyphs could be interpreted and we could understand and learn from those magnificent empires. The way we do with other great cultures like Mayans, etc...
tomcatwarne: The second before the creation of the universe.
The creation of the universe as a Fast-made (instantanly made) universe???

Yes I meant, do you know the transalation of the rosetta stone.
Woodstock 1969....unfortunately I was unable to attend. But if I was a fly I would have had a panoramic view. But probably would have nose dived into the ground after inhaling all the "smoke".
tomcatwarne: Do you know of any English transalations of his poetry??
How about this one:
Ich saz uf eime steine
I sat upon a stone, Cross-legged and all alone. My elbow on my knee I propped, And in my up-turned hand I dropped My chin, as deep in thought I wondered how we ought To live together here and now. In vain I asked the question how Three things might be gained And together be maintained. Two are wealth and good renoun Which often bring each other down; The third is God's good grace, Which takes pride of place. How I longed to have all three; But sadly it cannot yet be That one heart could claim Fortune, favour, fame. Ways and means cannot be found With such chaos all around. There's treason and deceit, There's violence on the street. Peace and justice are deplored; The three will never be achieved until these two have been restored.
