Actually, to make it more Rosetta stonish, it should be in three steps: 1: An unknown language in an unknown alphabet (Egyptian in Heiratic) 2: An unknown language in a known alphabet (Egyptian in Coptic--Greek letters) 3: A known language in a known alphabet (Greek in Greek). Then, one would have to translate a completely different text in condition 1 to show that one has succeeded.
