The writing of the gods: the race to decode the Rosetta Stone

Trama

Scoperta in un cumulo di macerie nel 1799, questa lastra di pietra si dimostrò la chiave per sbloccare una lingua perduta che sconcertava gli studiosi per secoli. Scolpita nell'antico Egitto, la Stele di Rosetta portava lo stesso messaggio in diverse lingue: in greco usando lettere greche e in egiziano usando la scrittura di immagini chiamate geroglifici.
