The shroud of Turin. Weapons of Mass Destruction. Virgin Marys of Cheese. These are discoveries of convenience.
The Rosetta Stone is one of the great archeological discoveries ever.
But considering i had been facinated with it my entire life, lost my shit when i saw it in the British Museum and have a miniture version sitting next to my keyboard i may be slightly biased.
I was more thinking that just when people were being stumped by translating these old languages, this "Idiot's Guide To Translating Ancient Languages" just happens to turn up. A little convenient if you ask me.
