TOK EXHIBITION Object1 : A Copy of the Rosetta Stone
- Theme: Knowledge and Language
- Rationale: The Rosetta Stone, an ancient artifact inscribed with the same decree in three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek), serves as a powerful symbol of the relationship between knowledge and culture. It played a crucial role in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby unlocking the knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization. This object exemplifies how language acts as a bridge between knowledge and culture, enabling the transmission of cultural heritage across generations and facilitating cross-cultural understanding by providing insights into the values, beliefs, and practices of ancient societies.
