Kryptos

The rosetta Stone translated into a proclamation about recsinding certain taxes by Ptolemy V.

The word "Eureka" can be found in the last part of the cipher if the letters are rearranged.

DIGKUHUAUEKCAR

"UEKCAR" rearrange the letters and drop the "C" to get "Eureka". The Rosetta stone was in Greek, Coptic and another dead language of hieroglyphs. King Tut, Carter et al, dealt with death. Archimedes worked for the Ptolomys.

Maybe its something like, "Nothing is certain but death and taxes"

But some words are in Greek, some in Coptic, or maybe even French.

The sculpture looks like the Rosetta Stone in form and mass.

I always thought it was more like "So.... it is, let it be, So!"

Hello,
Eureka is perhaps a good idea, personnally, I begin the problem by the faults in IQLUSION,UNDERGRUUND and DESPARAT-LY. I think at code Caesar.
For French, I think too. Because Vigenere is French.
For the détails of my decoding see my site:
