My Rosetta Stone

Imagine finding a mysterious stone that deciphers an ancient language! In 1799, French soldiers found the Rosetta Stone in Egypt, which contains the same text in hieroglyphics, Greek and Demotic. Thanks to this stone, scientists were able to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics – an ancient mystery was solved!

In this workshop, as part of the exhibition Babel heureuse?, children create their own translation stone out of clay. They engrave signs and symbols into the clay and add their meanings in different languages. Once back home, they can explore these new languages.
