Why was the Rosetta stone a key to discovery to Egyptian archaeology?

Answer 1

The Rosetta Stone is an inscribed slab held at the British Museum in London. The stone is important because it provided the key for translating Egyptian hieroglyphics. The stone contains the same message written in multiple ancient languages, some of which were known at the time of the stone's discovery. Knowing some of the languages helped to figure out those that were unknown.

The Rosetta stone is a stone that was found near the city Rosetta. So that is why it is named the Rosetta Stone the reason why it is important is because it had three different languages on the stone which are Greek, Hieratic, Ancient Greece. The famous person who deciphered the languages and what they meant is some one who goes by the name os Jean-Francois Champollion.

This tablet contained the translations of 3 different languages all on the same stone. # Greek # Egyptian Hieroglyphics # Demotic Scripts In addition, if we never found the Rosetta stone we wouldn't know much about Egyptian writing, ancient Egypt, or ruler Ptolemy v.

.
It is because the Rosetta Stone had text in Greek and a later form of Egyptian. For a long time the historians did not know how to read them, but then a French soldier gave historians the Rosetta Stone. Because the message in all three languages was the same, scholars who knew Greek were able to figure out what the hieroglyphics said.
The Rosetta Stone was important to archaeologists because it had hieroglyphics on it and it has been found after a long period of time.
Until the Rosetta Stone was discovered, no modern human could read Egyptian hieroglyphics. The Rosetta Stone had the same words written in three languages; Greek, demotic, and hieroglyphs, which allowed people to learn how to read Egyptian hieroglyphics by comparing them to the other two languages.
so that scholars could know how to read hieroglyphics. the stone was in greek and two forms of hieroglyphics. people who spoke greek translated it and found out that it meant the same thing in hieroglyphics.

Answer 2

The Rosetta stone which was found in Egypt contained a story in 3 different languages: Ancient greek, phoenican, and one language that scientists didn't know. Since they did know ancient greek and phoenican, they figured out the ancient Egyptian hyroglyphics, therefore they were now able to understand ancient Egypt's language.

Answer 3

Rosetta stone is a stone slab with writings on it. The text had been written on it in three different languages: hierogliphic, ancient Egyptian (a variation of the first9 and in ancient Greek. Scientist could not read hierogliphics before that but they understood the Greek language. The Greek language was used as a code to solve the meaning of the hieroglyphics.
