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.
The discovery of what enabled archaeologist to decode hieroglyphs?
The Rosetta Stone.
What helped scholars decipher Egyptian writing?

What are the 3 languages used in hieroglyphics?
Your question indicates that you have misunderstood what you have read or been taught. Hieroglyphs (a noun - only Americans call them "hieroglyphics", which is an adjective form) were used in ancient Egypt to record their own language and no other. Two other scripts (Hieratic and Demotic) evolved from hieroglyphs but still record the ancient Egyptian language. A decree recorded on the Rosetta Stone is written twice in ancient Egyptian (in hieroglyphs and Demotic script) and once in the Greek alphabet - this enabled scholars to compare the known Greek words with the unknown Egyptian equivalents and begin to make a translation. Other cultures used hieroglyphs (otherwise simply known as glyphs), including the Maya, the Hittites and the early Indus Valley culture; all were used to record the language of the people concerned and there is absolutely no connection between the different scripts.
