If you were hoping to solve the French town of Plougastel-Daoulas’ great mystery by deciphering the inscription on its mysterious stone and claim the $2,235 reward, you’re too late. The writing carved into the 250-year-old stone that is only visible at low tide, has finally been partially translated.
The small town of 13,000 inhabitants received more than 2,000 requests to participate in the contest that was launched in May 2019. In the end, 600 participants attempted to reveal the mystery of the stone, but only two managed to convince the panel of historians judging the contest.
