Thank you for your interest in the Digital Rosetta Stone project! The project is still ongoing in 2025.

Check out the Visual Alignment. On the base of a new photograph of the Rosetta Stone, done in June 2018 with the shape-from-shading technology (3D), we have aligned the three versions of the text and link to the transliterations and an English translation of the text. How can you experience this?

1 - Please hover with your mouse arrow over the photograph. Blue shadings will indicate your position on the Rosetta Stone. Matching passages in the other versions of the text will also be displayed at the same time.

2 - While hovering a bit longer, pop ups display the transliterations of the text passages.

3 - Klick on any text passage of the photograph of the Rosetta Stone. You will be directed to the digital edition (open access) in Ugarit iAligner. There, you can see full transliterations and translations of the three versions, conveniently aligned next to each other, and an English translation.

4 - In Ugarit iAligner, hover with your mouse over any word or word group of the transliterations or translation and see its match in the other version(s), if existing. Yes, not all the versions are 100% congruent, and some passages only exist in one version of the text. This is where our research continues.

5 - In Ugarit iAligner, while clicking on the Digital Rosetta Stone project, we provide more alignments: of the individual languages/scripts, and another synoptic version with a German translation.

6 - Treebanking or morphosyntactic annotation: see the Greek version and the Demotic version in the portal "Arethusa".
