What day was Rosetta stone found?

Answer 2

The Rosetta Stone was discovered in July 1799 by French Engineer Pierre-François Bouchard; during construction at the Egyptian port city of Rosetta.

As French soldiers worked to knock down an old wall to make room for a new fort, they unearthed a big black slab of stone known now as the Rosetta Stone.

It was covered with three types of writing. Hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Ancient Greek. In all of the languages on the stone, there was the name of a ruler, Ptolemy V . The Rosetta Stone helped us decode what hieroglyphics mean. Without the Rosetta Stone or knowing how to read hieroglyphics, we would not be able to learn about the Ancient Egyptian culture and the different things they did in everyday life. We would also not know the names of the pharaohs and what they did.

Deciphering the stone took place over a period of time and was worked on by several people, beginning in 1802. Champollion's breakthrough came in 1822. He published a complete explanation of his work in 1824.

In 1858, the first complete English translation of the Rosetta stone was published by the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania.
