Current Goal

Being a symbol of knowledge of languages I want to visit as many differently speaking locations as possible.
Please POST PHOTOS of places, where I've been and PUT ME ONLY IN WELL HIDDEN AND FREQUENTLY VISITED CACHES as I don't want to be stolen or lie somewhere for months.

About This Item

Rosetta Stone Geocoin

The Rosetta Stone is an Ancient Egyptian artifact which was instrumental in advancing modern understanding of hieroglyphic writing. The stone is a Ptolemaic era stele with carved text made up of three translations of a single passage: two in Egyptian language scripts (hieroglyphic and Demotic) and one in classical Greek. It was created in 196 BC, discovered by the French in 1799 at Rosetta and contributed greatly to the deciphering of the principles of hieroglyph writing in 1822 by the British scientist Thomas Young and the French scholar Jean-François Champollion. Comparative translation of the stone assisted in understanding many previously undecipherable examples of hieroglyphic writing. The text on the stone is a decree from Ptolemy V, describing the repealing of various taxes and instructions to erect statues in temples.

Beautiful coin, I visited at the cache and took this to continue it's journey again. Rosetta Stone is somewhat familiar thing to me, I've read some texts about it and if I remember right, I've also once solved a mystery cache related to the stone.
