There is a missing piece in this story: Champollion was probably the first European to guess that the liturgical language of Coptic is a descendent of Ancient Egyptian, and he took lessons of Coptic from a Coptic priest in Paris, Father John (Abuna Yuhanna.

I wonder if this stone is a unique artifact, or if since then similar multilingual artifacts have been discovered that could've served the same purpose that the Rosetta stone did, but never got the same amount of attention.

Many artifacts in the british museum have questionable provenance as indicated by scholars and the curators of other museums. But no one on earth can mess with the UK, not even the US. So sadly nothing is gonna change

Europeans discovered and deciphered the Rosetta Stone through years of work, and brought new light to ancient Egyptian civilization, but still it is referred to as the pillaged artifact. How is that for ridiculousness

Imagine forgetting your entire language because of religious invaders who thought it was heresy only to find out people who conquered your nation before made sure to write it down which saved your culture.

I love that even back then, some instructions are printed with translations below them. And it even had multiple copies. It's like reading the label of my medicine haha.

The British Museum is the whole reason we decoded what the stone was displaying and you're whining about the fact that they (rightfully) claim it

I would love they found a Rosetta Stone of Rongorongo or Linear A, but I guess the chances are dim, mainly for the second one.

the ending got me - it’s basically calling out the British Museum to bring back its artifacts to its rightful countries
