Rosetta Stone - The Conclusion

I have handed in my Overview of a Rosetta Stone site to Peter Robinson, which officially signals the end of my time in CMRS 401.3.

I enjoyed attending the class and learning about the Digital Humanities and how they have developed.  But if there is something I am most grateful for in this class, it was my decision to do a study on the Rosetta Stone.  I enjoyed searching for information on the Rosetta Stone in order to formally present it, and I learnt about its different depictions in the digital world, both in regards to strengths and weaknesses.  More importantly, I learnt so much about the Rosetta Stone itself, and truly appreciate the time I took to look into its background.

As such, I am happy with my decision to have made my final project an overview of the site I would like to make of the Rosetta Stone if I were ever given the chance to do so, so that others would be given the chance to learn more about the Rosetta Stone, as I did. 

I hope I may find myself in more classes with my fellow students in the future.

Good luck on your Final Exams - both those who have yet to write or are in the process of writing. 

To those who are done Final Exams and about to finish and hand in their projects, have a Happy Holiday!

Greystone Communications - Rosetta Stone Documentary

A recent documentary video made by National Geographic regarding the decipherment of the Rosetta Stone.  I have not made a full viewing of the video myself yet, but I have a good feeling that it could be a good material source addition for my site idea.

 

 

EDIT: As it turns out, it may not have been a National Geographic produced documentary, as I did some digging and found it was actually of Greystone Communications Inc. in 1996. Thank goodness I decided to check a fuller version for the credits.
