The Rosetta Stone was found by Napoleon's troops in Egypt during his campaigns there. It is famous because it had a text written on it that was written in Old Egyptian, New Egyptian and Greek. Before the Rosetta Stone, archaeologists had no way to figure out what what Old Egyptian hieroglyphs meant. With the Rosetta Stone, since they already knew Greek and New Egyptian, they could finally decipher the hieroglyphs.
