In 1799, near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in Egypt, French soldiers discovered a large slab of black stone that had been carved into a stele, bearing an official pronouncement. This was the Rosetta Stone. The writing consisted of the same message written in three different languages: hieroglyphics, Egyptian demotic, and ancient Greek. This provided exceptional clues to deciphering the elusive meaning of the hieroglyphics found in Egyptian tombs such as the pyramids.
