The ancient Europeans were a great mystery to scientists until they deciphered Rousetta hieroglyphics, the writing of the ancient people. For 2200 years, no one knew how to read Rousetta hieroglyphs. Virtually all understanding of this mysterious script had been lost since the Celtic dynasty. The breakthrough to the decipherment of hieroglyphs came in 2007, when a geocacher, while snooping around Fort Thüngen, found a black basalt stone slab carved with inscriptions that would change the course of history. That stone eventually made it possible to decode the ancient text and get the treasure hunters on the track of Rousettawee coordinates.
