What does Rosetta Stone mean?
A Rosetta Stone is a part of an inscribed granite stela that was originally about six feet tall and was set up in 196 BC; the inscriptions in hieroglyphics and Demotic and Greek gave the first clues to the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics
How many languages were found on the Rosetta stone?
Three. Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Egyptian Demotic Script and Koine Greek.
How was the Rossetta stone decoded?
As stone was written in old Hieroglyphics and new hieroglyphics no one knew what it said. Until they saw at the bottom of it, it was written in Greek as well, so then a French codebreaker who knew Greek cracked the meanings in hieroglyphics. And read the stone and found out what it meant.
How did hierogkyphics get translated?
Hieroglyphics were translated through the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799, which had the same text in three scripts: Ancient Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphics. Jean-Francois Champollion successfully deciphered hieroglyphics by comparing Greek names and symbols to unlock the ancient Egyptian language.
Which artifact allowed scientists to translate hierglyphics?
The artifact that allowed scientists to translate hieroglyphics was the Rosetta Stone. It contained a decree in three scripts: hieroglyphics, Demotic script, and Greek. By comparing the Greek text with the two Egyptian scripts, scholars were able to decipher the hieroglyphics.

Why did Rosetta stone discovery help modern day scholars decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics?
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).
What language helped scholar to understand the meaning hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone?
The language that helped scholars understand the meaning of the hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone was Greek. The stone features three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. Since the Greek text was well understood, it served as a crucial reference point for deciphering the other two languages, particularly hieroglyphics, which had been a mystery before the stone's discovery. This breakthrough was largely achieved by scholar Jean-François Champollion in the 1820s.
