The Rosetta Stone is one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made. Carved from granodiorite, it bears the same decree written in three different scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Ancient Greek. This unique combination ultimately unlocked the ability to read a writing system that had been lost for nearly 1,500 years.

By the fourth century CE, the knowledge of how to read hieroglyphs had disappeared. Ancient Egyptian temples had closed, the language had evolved, and scholars could no longer understand the inscriptions covering Egypt's monuments and tombs. For centuries, the meaning of these mysterious symbols remained a puzzle.

Everything changed in 1799 during Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt. While strengthening a fort near the town of el-Rashid, known to Europeans as Rosetta, French officer Pierre-François Bouchard discovered a broken stone slab covered in three different scripts. Realizing its potential importance, scholars quickly recognized that the Greek text might provide the key to deciphering the other two.

When British forces defeated the French in Egypt, the Rosetta Stone was transferred to British ownership under the 1801 Treaty of Alexandria and eventually taken to London, where it remains today in the British Museum.

The breakthrough came in 1822 when French scholar Jean-François Champollion successfully deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs by comparing the Greek and Egyptian texts. His work opened the door to translating thousands of inscriptions that had been silent for centuries, transforming the study of ancient Egypt.

@chamath @traestephens Chamath, don’t listen to anyone when it comes to this film. It was literally one of Nolan’s best. The Odyssey was absolutely incredible and an amazing experience to watch in IMAX from beginning to end 💯 10/10

A funny moment after the match: Messi and several Argentina players were caught taking a look at Jordan Pickford's water bottle, which reportedly had notes on where each Argentine player would place their penalty.

Messi's reaction. 😭

🚨🎙️ England Captain Harry Kane after England’s loss:

“I don’t think I’ll ever understand what just happened out there, if I’m being honest. It’s really tough to take.

Our whole focus this past week was on stopping Lionel Messi. Every meeting, every session — it was all about limiting his impact. And in a way, you look at it and think we did… we stopped him from scoring.

But that’s the thing with him. Even at 39, it’s just unbelievable. You think you’ve done enough, and then he goes and produces two assists — two decisive moments that completely change the game. That’s the level he’s at.

To go from winning the game to losing it in the last seven minutes… it’s devastating. Absolutely devastating. We were in control, we were so close, and then it just turns like that.

The lads are hurting. We’re all disappointed because we know how big this was. But sometimes you come up against a player who can change everything in an instant… and tonight, that was the difference.”

Syria (Aleppo) in the 1950s, when 40% of the population was Christian. Today, it is less than 1%. This is the case for all the Middle East under Islam. Funny how no one cares about this real genocide.
