In case you're a little fuzzy on your history, the original Rosetta Stone was about four-feet-tall and two-feet-high. The ancient Egyptians etched three languages - hieroglyphic and Demotic and classical Greek - onto the one-foot-thick slab. Napoleon's soldiers found the stone and it unlocked ancient Egyptian civilization -- before then, nobody could read hieroglyphic!

The high-tech Rosetta Disk fits in the palm of your hand, has about 1,500 languages etched-on in microscopic writing and is designed to last ten thousand years.

Rosetta project director Laura Welcher says it could be the tool that unlocks ancient-English to the far-future. But more importantly, Welcher says with the world's languages (and culture) disappearing, the Rosetta disk will be a reminder of how diverse humanity once was.
