Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum
Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum,

I used to work at the Egyptian Museum and part of the standard tour was to talk about this replica of the Rosetta Stone. The original is in the British Museum and it was the key to finally understanding Egyptian hieroglyphics. It's divided into three scripts Demotic, Greek, and Hieroglyphics, all saying the same thing. It was really easy to find and I was surprised that there were so many entries about this San Jose museum.
