About the event
The Digital Rosetta Stone Project
Prof Franziska Naether (Leipzig University and Stellenbosch University)
19 March, 18:30, Franschhoek Theatre
How do we crack the code of the ancients? In 1822, the Rosetta Stone unlocked the world of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Today, Egyptologists are using 3D scanning and innovative digital tools to preserve and analyse these ancient scripts with more precision than ever before. Join Egyptologist and papyrologist Prof Franziska Naether as she discusses the international project to digitise the Stone and share new insights into the ancient world.
