Rosetta Stone - 800 Piece British Museum Puzzle

We bought this for our 29 year old grandson - he loves it! We received an email from him with photos of various stages of the jigsaw being done, and the methods he was using to do it - firstly, he sorted all the different scripts into "same category script" piles... He was very amusing about the scribe hieroglyph which he called "man updating his status on iPhone...". We hadn't realised it was in the shape of the Rosetta Stone itself. We are very tempted to get one for ourselves... It is difficult, but a lovely challenge for those interested in the Stone itself, and it helps if you know the Greek alphabet.

Purchased this as a gift for a friend moving away. They've not moved yet, so not opened the puzzle, but were delighted with it

We love jigsaws, and I'm very interested in the history of the Rosetta Stone, so this one was irresistible.
But it's an absolute bugger - 800 pieces, each containing just a small number of Greek letters, or worse, Egyptian Demotic or Hieroglyphs. Unlike most jigsaws, it's incredibly difficult to just look at a piece and see where it fits by using pattern recognition. It's almost impossible.
But - that's what makes the challenge so much fun. When we finish it - and we will, eventually - we'll have a wonderful sense of achievement.
Brilliant.

I bought this for my husband who loves all things museum. It arrived very quickly. Although only 800 pieces, it is very difficult as it is not a regular shape: the edges are the shape of the actual stone. There are 3 main sections each with a different ancient script. If you can read Greek or hieroglyphics that would help!!
The main problem is that we need to take a photo of the picture on the box and then enlarge it and work from that as the picture is so small it is no help. There needs to be a picture included with the set printed to a larger scale similar to the pieces to help guide you.
Not one for beginners. It iwill keep him quiet for a long time.
