    Wow, so how are you supposed to install that on a computer to learn a language?

        If you drop it just right you will instantly be fluent in the cursing language.

    I don’t get it

    And isn’t the Rosetta stone meant to have a bunch of writing on it?

    Somehow this makes me want to carve a QR code into a stone.

      I think it is the stone from the back. You can see more people on the other side of the stone and also with phones out to photograph it.

        Indeed it is. I have seen (and I think photographed) it from the other side. But I am not sure if it is the original or just a copy on display.

      Have some manners, thank the friendly person who took time out of their day to give you an answer.

      That’s the only way to see it when the front side is mobbed by hundreds of people.

        Those ancient civilizations should have accounted for this and put text on every side when they made it.

    If you point Google Lens at it, will it translate it?

    Wonder what the British museum was like in 1802

    I saw it this summer while on a trip, the British Museum is massive.
