So, genuinely no hard feelings, I get where y'all are coming from, but that was actually kind of my entire point
The Rosetta Stone was and is real.
This is indisputable. You can go see the Rosetta Stone on display right now!! I'd say you could even it touch it, but there's museum glass in the way, so that the oils on human skin can't further degrade this 2,000-year-old stele, which is one of the most important surviving historical texts in the world.
The Tower of Babel is not real, and it never was.
The Tower of Babel is a millennia-old religious story about a mythological tower, which serves as a mythological explanation for the origin of different human languages. Yes, there are some religious historians who speculate that the myth was inspired by one or another physical tower, but no, that doesn't prove anything other than "this is how many people in this cultural explained or understood that sort of event."
The Rosetta Stone, on the other hand, is an object of translation that actually exists

That picture is of a real object. It is not of a picture of a 3,000+ year old myth.
Our attempts to understand each other will not result in us being struck down by some force from on high!
And the true path to a world where we can all understand each other does not involve us all speaking the same language. That's racist bs
True understanding depends on ethical translation and language preservation, not on unity of language
