What is hieroglyphic Egyptian stone tablets?
The Rosetta Stone. While the Rosetta Stone did have Hieroglyphics on it, it also had the same passage inscribed in the Demotic and Classical Greek languages. This helped Young and Champollion in their translations of the Hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone. A stone slab with just Hieroglyphics would be called a stele. Steles or stelae can be found worldwide, not just in Egypt.

Who was the first scholar to decipher the hieroglyphs?
The translation of hieroglyphics was only possible because of the discovery of the Rosetta stone. The stone contained a single passage written in three languages, hieroglyphic, Demotic, and classical Greek. Using what scholars knew of the Greek and Demotic they were able to translate the hieroglyphics From Wikipedia: "In 1814, Briton Thomas Young finished translating the demotic text, and began work on the hieroglyphic script. From 1822 to 1824 the French scholar, philologist, and orientalist Jean-François Champollion greatly expanded on this work and is credited as the principal translator of the Rosetta Stone."
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.
