Fascinating
example of translation- ancient Egyptian
didn’t know meaning
of Egyptian characters- hieroglyphics
found the
Rosetta Stone
rosetta
stone translation ancient Greek, ancient Egyptian
linguists still
couldn;t figure it out
they thought
symbols were for ideas= like in Japanese
in fact, the
heiroglt]yphics represented phonetic sounds
linguiats
were able to find common names in the greek Cleopatra
found the
same names in the Egyptian script
from that
they were able to begin to read sounds.
over decades
they could read the language
