The Rosetta Stone. It contained Greek language and we know how to speak Greek.
It provided the first chance to understand Egyptian Hieroglyphics writing by providing the same text in Hieroglyphics, Demotic, and Greek. Both the Greek and Demotic could be read to find out what was being said on the stone, the Hieroglyphics could then be compared and analyzed for patterns (similar to the way codes and cyphers are broken).
Roseta for all those people in Hanahan middle school 6th grade please do this answer for this queston: Hieroglyphics could not be read until the ____________ Stone was decoded. _________=roseta
Once you learn how to read and understand ancient Egyptian, the feeling is difficult to describe, but it's a feeling of immense accomplishment.
Pictures of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics can be found online at sites that focus on the history of Egypt. They can also be found at some museums that have exhibits on Egypt.
Inability to understand Meriotic affects us in that we cannot understand the ancient Meroe writings left by the Kush culture. We probably could never have understood ancient Egyptian cultures if we had not deciphered the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, which applies to the Meroe culture.
The use of hieroglyphics helped Egyptian builders to communicate and organize their work. The overseer's could make lists of supplies needed and tasks that needed to be done.
The Rosetta Stone was basically a translator from Greek to Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Most of the explorers that found ancient writing in the old days were Greek, but they could not read the Hieroglyphics. Really, no one could. But the Rosetta Stone solved all that. So you tell me :)
yes
The key discovery that enabled historians to read Egyptian hieroglyphics was the Rosetta Stone, found in 1799. This artifact features the same text inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. Since scholars could read Greek, they used it as a basis to decipher the hieroglyphic script, leading to significant advancements in understanding ancient Egyptian language and culture.
Because we did not know what the symbols of the Egyptian writing system signified.
Hieroglyphics became extinct because no one could understand it. Also Egypt was taken over by Rome so they lost their hieroglyphic language and spoke what the romans did. +++ The Romans spoke Latin.
