What is the rosseta stone and why is it important?
The Rosetta Stone was a stone carved with a passage in three types of writing: Ancient Greek, ancient Egyptian Demotic script, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 enabled the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to finally be translated by European scholars. Since they already knew how to read ancient Greek, it was possible for them to finally decipher hieroglyphics once it became apparent that all three languages on the stone reproduced the same decree. The modern Rosetta Stone language-learning software is named after the actual stone.
