The Rosetta Stone was found by Napoleon's troops in Egypt during his campaigns there. It is famous because it had a text written on it that was written in Old Egyptian, New Egyptian and Greek. Before the Rosetta Stone, archaeologists had no way to figure out what what Old Egyptian hieroglyphs meant. With the Rosetta Stone, since they already knew Greek and New Egyptian, they could finally decipher the hieroglyphs.

∙ 14y agoThe Rosetta Stone is the key to understanding the hieroglyphs. It has the same text written in Greek, Latin, and the hieroglyphs, allowing people to finally read hieroglyphs. Nice to know if you walk into a pyramid and the hieroglyphs say "touch this panel and die," and you can actually read that.

Does Rosetta stone teach you to speak fluently?
I have never used Rosetta stone but i am guessing, that it might help. I am a fluent speaker of Spanish, because I was in a Spanish immersion school, or a school where all of your classes are in Spanish (besides English of course) but that took years. if you are persistent and really study then it would absolutely help. but if you are like me then no it wouldn't help. I have tried learning other languages on programs similar to Rosetta stone but its been really hard and didn't help much. i think it really depends on the kind of person you are.

I think that Rosetta Stone is the same as all other language programs out there, like Baron's, for example. I have tried many language learning programs, but I think Rosetta Stone is by far the best out there. It may be expensive, but it is worth it in the end! :)

In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout believes that Mr. Avery gets his information from the Rosetta Stone because he is known for making up stories and spreading rumors, much like the way the Rosetta Stone helped uncover hidden meanings. This is a playful and humorous way for Scout to express her skepticism about Mr. Avery's credibility.
