A Rosetta Stone for a lost language
Summary
A Rosetta Stone is a stone found in Rosetta, Egypt, you know, and it’s inscribed ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic, Greek, and demotic scripts. It’s said that this is an important clue that provides important critical knowledge for solving a problem or puzzle. It means that if we solve those letters, we can know about extremely great things, so I think that it must show that letters are very important and reading something is more important.
The speaker tells that scripts were written not to read easily because the stakes are so high if you solve it, thus it’s exciting to find out about it that is silenced by an unfortunate accident of history.
However, l have a question. People have remembered that letters are important, haven’t they? It’s because they don’t read books, they love watching reflections that are T.V. YouTube movies and so on more than before, and there are many scripts that are written untrue now. Again, it must not be solved by an unfortunate current of history.
