Die Stone of Rosette Coin soll eigentlich nur von einem Cache zum nächsten wandern und seine temporalen Besitzer erfreuen. Über schöne Fotos würde ich mich sehr freuen.
This coin would like travel from cache to cache. And it would not be amiss to send me some photos from his journey.
Godspeed!
Der Stein von Rosette oder Stein von Rosetta oder auch Rosettastein (französisch: la pierre de Rosette, englisch: Rosetta Stone) ist eine halbrunde, steinerne Stele mit einem in drei Schriften eingemeißelten Priesterdekret als Ehrung des ägyptischen Königs Ptolemaios V. sowie seiner Frau und deren Ahnen. Der Stein von Rosette trug maßgeblich zur Übersetzung der ägyptischen Hieroglyphen bei. Er befindet sich heute im British Museum in London.
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 repeal of various taxes and instructions to erect statues in temples. Two Egyptian-Greek multilingual steles predated Ptolemy V's Rosetta Stone: Ptolemy III's Decree of Canopus, 239 BC, and Ptolemy IV's Decree of Memphis, ca 218 BC.
