Rosetta Stone- British Museum, London

Sorry for the lousy picture! It was the only picture I could snap without fifty people standing in front of it. I swear everyone and their grandma was there to see the Rosetta Stone. You can´t see from the picture, but there are teeny tiny carvings in different languages every few lines down. This is what they used to decipher hieroglyphics. Important piece of history here!

227331, you ask what the connection is between the Rosetta Stone and mummified cats... they can both be found in the British Museum in London. The lines are not really lines--they are text.

this stone Is called The Rosetta Stone. Why does it have to do with anything with cats or such like? why does it have lines on it?
