The Digital Rosetta Stone project was featured on November 28, 2019 in MDR, a German news outlet.

The article by Dr. Daniel Niemetz was titled “LEIPZIGER FORSCHERINNEN SCHAFFEN DIGITALEN STEIN VON ROSETTE” and described our process for 3D scanning the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum. “Leipziger Wissenschaftlerinnen haben ein digitales Abbild des weltberühmten Steins von Rosette geschaffen. Mit der Applikation ist es jedermann möglich, den dreisprachigen Text des altägyptischen Monuments per Mausklick zu übersetzen. Das Tool erleichtert auch das Erlernen alter Sprachen.”
