14th September 2022: 200th Anniversary of Decipherment of Hieroglyphs:

“According to Hermine Hartleben, who wrote the most extensive biography of Champollion in 1906, the breakthrough came on 14 September 1822, a few days before the Lettre was written, when Champollion was examining copies made by Huyot. One cartouche from Abu Simbel contained four hieroglyphic signs. Champollion guessed, or drew on the same guess found in Young's Britannica article, that the circular first sign represented the sun. The Coptic word for "sun" was re. The sign that appeared twice at the end of the cartouche stood for "s" in the cartouche of Ptolemy. If the name in the cartouche began with Re and ended with ss, it might thus match "Ramesses", suggesting the sign in the middle stood for m.

Further confirmation came from the Rosetta Stone, where the m and s signs appeared together at a point corresponding to the word for "birth" in the Greek text, and from Coptic, in which the word for "birth" was mise. Another cartouche contained three signs, two of them the same as in the Ramesses cartouche. The first sign, an ibis, was a known symbol of the god Thoth. If the latter two signs had the same values as in the Ramesses cartouche, the name in the second cartouche would be Thothmes, corresponding to the royal name "Tuthmosis" mentioned by Manetho. These were native Egyptian kings, long predating Greek rule in Egypt, yet the writing of their names was partially phonetic.

Now Champollion turned to the title of Ptolemy found in the longer cartouches in the Rosetta Stone. Champollion knew the Coptic words that would translate the Greek text and could tell that phonetic hieroglyphs such as p and t would fit these words. From there he could guess the phonetic meanings of several more signs. Upon making these discoveries Champollion raced to his brother's office at the Académie des Inscriptions, flung down a collection of copied inscriptions, cried "Je tiens mon affaire!" ("I've done it!") and collapsed in a days-long faint.” [X]

New video is live! Today, I am talking about the recent thefts from the British Museum, where I hope to offer a slightly different perspective on this whole debacle. Let me know what you think! Tell your mom!

Fellow Stowaways Rabid And Starving Octokittens!

As both the Mechanisms themselves and the fandom are a very multilingual group, I'd like to suggest another Rosetta Stone for us to make (inspired by that one post where we all translated the blorbos' names into different languages), for fun! And violence! And... that's about it.

And the basis should be none other than this wonderful exchange:

Jonny: "Is this her? How do we wake her up?" Nastya: "Well, you could try kissing her." Jonny: "I'm not gonna kiss a sleeping stranger, Nastya, that's really fucking creepy." Nastya: "Try your normal plan then. Shoot the machines until they explode." Jonny: "I will! I will do that!" *gunshot sounds* "Whaddya know. It worked."

To demonstrate, here is what my 1 am brain figured it'd look like in Polish:

Janek: "I to ona? Jak niby mamy ją obudzić?" Nastja: "No, mógłbyś spróbowa�� pocałunkiem." Janek: "Nie będę całował śpiącej obcej osoby, Nastja, to by było naprawdę w chuj obleśne." Nastja: "To zrób to po swojemu, jak zawsze. Strzelaj w maszyny aż nie wybuchną." Janek: "Tak zrobię! Tak właśnie zrobię!" *odgłosy strzałów* "No i co? Podziałało."

Napoleon is so funny that the discovery of the Rosetta Stone was literally just a side quest in his story

Rosetta Stone

* Created in 196 BCE during the reign of king Ptolemy V Epiphanes.

* Discovered at Rosetta in 1799 by French troops

* The stele contains a degree that confirms a royal cult of Ptolemy V. It is written in Egyptian with hieroglyphs, in Egyptian with detonic script and in Greek with the Greek alphabet

12 YEAR OLD OCS; SIDE B

Rosetta Stone (She/her)

She’s the princess of Stonewater and has magical abilities allowing her to control fire and ice. She goes to this princess school and her family’s super wealthy but she’s really lonely, so she makes a bunch of super-powered princess friends (created by my friends, of course). Then there’s a flash forward and she’s fighting this force called “The Darkness” that took her parents and also her friend’s baby is the chosen one for some reason.

Shadow [@oreganosuace] (she/her)

Edgy middle school self insert/fursona!

- her eyes would change color based on her emotions

- she had stitches all over that could open up and release shadowy dark magic

- she would wear a shock collar purely cuz it's cool

- she had an animatronic form named Twisted Shadow that functioned similarly to the Funtimes FNAF animatronics (stomach cavity, luring abilities, can cause hallucinations)

- She was shipped with Antisepticeye (yes, jacksepticeye's evil alter ego)

- She could smell blood for miles like a shark
