  I love that technically this is taking a picture of the quarantine sign at an airport

  If you point Google Lens at it, will it translate it?

  I saw it this summer while on a trip, the British Museum is massive.

  I don’t get it

  And isn’t the Rosetta stone meant to have a bunch of writing on it?

  Somehow this makes me want to carve a QR code into a stone.

    That’s the only way to see it when the front side is mobbed by hundreds of people.

      Those ancient civilizations should have accounted for this and put text on every side when they made it.

    I think it is the stone from the back. You can see more people on the other side of the stone and also with phones out to photograph it.

      Indeed it is. I have seen (and I think photographed) it from the other side. But I am not sure if it is the original or just a copy on display.
