I'm still searching for it huh  It would be a cool name for that planet that the guy who demoted Pluto and thinks he found a huge planet too far off for us to see.

Rosetta Stone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone)

"The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion Demotic script, and the lowest Ancient Greek. Because it presents essentially the same text in all three scripts (with some minor differences among them), the stone provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs."
