The original Rosetta Stone was a basalt slab discovered near Rosetta, Egypt in 1799. The stone was inscribed with three identical texts : Greek, Egyptian demotic (Arabic) and Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The identical texts proved to be the key to decyphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.This Blogg is called Rosetta Stone because I hope it will be the "key" to understanding the human condition through differing viewpoints human condition. By understanding others we can better understand ourselves.I hope that there will be a good deal of humour, too.

In the beginning ...

Well, this is my first time blogging in my own. It will take some time to get used to it. But I have all the time in the world! Thank to Marisa for recommending this. That's another one I owe you!

I always thought it would be cool to have a Blog loosely based on the format of Ancient Greece : Just a bunch of people in togas, sitting around and talking about current events, Nature, Science, Philosophy ... whatever. The flow of free discussion is important to learn and to grow. No closed minds here!

Well, not bad for a start. What's next?
