title: In the future, many languages
---

In the future, many languages spoken today will be lost. One group seeks to preserve them by creating a modend day "Rosetta stone". They are engraving common text as well as creation myths and grammar primers onto [a three inch nickel disk](http://www.longnow.org/10klibrary/rosetta.html). It won't be digital, either. It'll be complete engravings, readable with a simple 10,000x magnifying lens. I found this on [eatonweb](http://www.eatonweb.com).
