[snip] The Singapore Stone, originally a large boulder, was partially destroyed by the British in 1843 for use in building a stone fort... In 1837, several years before the British blew the stone up, it was hand-drawn by the politician William Bland and philologist James Prinsep. Later, Sir Stamford Raffles, the British East India Company's administrator and the "founder" of Singapore, attempted to decode it. However, when it was blown up, only three recovered fragments were graphically reproduced before being sent to India. [/snip]
Wanton destruction? In their defense, that's been kinda their thing for a while now.

I have the translation for you:

Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.

Maybe I missed where they defined the type of rock comprising the ‘stone’.

It looks far, FAR older from the weathering.

They did decode what was on the fragment!

BE SURE TO D

They can only conjecture the rest.

Wait, wait, wait - the Brits blew it up!?

WTF?

Did it contain some nuclear secrets or Joe Biden business plan or something?

This is the perfect use for AI — much more humane than its use in tracking, surveillance and bomb targeting of civilians.
