Egyptian hieroglyphics were first discovered by Europeans in the late 18th century, specifically during Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt from 1798 to 1801. The Rosetta Stone, which contained inscriptions in Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics, was found in 1799 and became crucial for deciphering the ancient script. Jean-François Champollion successfully deciphered hieroglyphics in 1822, marking a significant milestone in the understanding of ancient Egyptian writing.
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.

The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799, which contained inscriptions in both Greek and Egyptian hieroglyphics, played a crucial role in deciphering hieroglyphics. French scholar Jean-François Champollion successfully deciphered the hieroglyphic script in 1822 by comparing the Greek text to the Egyptian inscriptions. This breakthrough paved the way for understanding ancient Egyptian language and culture.
