What is the secret of this obelisk we are to uncover..? That: The French historian The hieroglyphs The Rosetta Stone The ancient civilization The Philae lander The Rosetta orbiter The shadow The Solar System and the comets All of these are simply made of the SUN..?!
Philae is the island in the river Nile on which an obelisk was found that had a bilingual inscription including the names of Cleopatra and Ptolemy in Egyptian hieroglyphs. This provided the French historian Jean-François Champollion with the final clues that enabled him to decipher the hieroglyphs of the Rosetta Stone and unlock the secrets of the civilisation of ancient Egypt. Just as the Philae Obelisk and the Rosetta Stone provided the keys to an ancient civilisation, the Philae lander and the Rosetta orbiter aim to unlock the mysteries of the oldest building blocks of our Solar System - comets.
