Guest #28 June 16, 2003 QuoteThanks for that Mark... Now I'm going to have to do some google searches and see what else comes up under that story... I need to know more...!!! why don't you get all the good dirt like this in school??? Another thing you don't get is the SIZE of that mother. It's not like a stone tablet that Moses would schlep around, it's more of a boulder. Seriously, the French absolutely did not want to give up the stone, because they knew, like the British, that it was the key to unlocking ancient Egypt itself. Nobody had any idea how to read heiroglyphics before Champollion (a language prodigy) figured it out using what Alan Turing would recognize as modern code-breaking techniques. Just amazing. It was Champollion's excellent work that provided the clues that eventually led to the discovery of Tut-Ankh-Amun's tomb. ...and all because of a rock that was being recycled into construction material when the French stumbled across it...."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."
