It offered the first breakthrough in modern interpretation of hieroglyphic writings.The Rosetta stone was found in 1799 by a part of Napoleons' army near Alexandria, Egypt. They were about to tear down a wall in Rosetta when they found the stone. Before the stones discovery no one knew or could translate ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Unlike Egyptian many people knew Greek, but still it took years to translate. That is why the Rosetta stone is the key to understanding ancient Egyptian.
