About This Item

E:\GeoCoins&TBs\StoneOfRosetta.jpg

Der Stein von Rosette wurde 1799 entdeckt. Auf ihm befindet sich ein Text in drei verschiedenen Schriften. Dabei handelt es sich um ägyptische Hieroglyphen, sowie demotische und altgriechische Schriftzeichen. Durch diesen Stein war es Jean-François Champollion 1822 erstmals möglich die ägyptischen Hieroglyphen zu entziffern. Weitere Infos sind bei Wikipedia zu finden.
Auf der Vorderseite ist die Darstellung von Experten beim Inspizieren des Steins während eines Orientalistenkongresses 1874 zu sehen. Auf der Rückseite ist der Stein (Schriftzeichen vereinfacht) dargestellt. Außerdem kann man mit der Coin auch eine ROT13 Entschlüsselung durchführen (die Buchstaben wurden links und rechts des Steins entsprechend angeordnet).

Found the coin at Stenkistan today. Read message in the booklet that it wants to visit Cairo. Since I'm going to Arlanda Airport next week, I planned to place it there at the TB hotel, initially. But now I saw on the homepage it wants to travel by ship... Therefore I guess I will place it at the "Beach to Beach"-Cache at Mälaren. I hope that someone will pick it up and ship it possibly to Stockholm harbour, where it hopefully can continue its journey over water! Good luck!
