The priests inscribed the Rosetta Stone using three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. This trilingual approach was intended to make the decree accessible to different audiences, including the Greek rulers and the Egyptian populace. The stone was created around 196 BCE to commemorate the reign of Ptolemy V, and its inscriptions detail the king's accomplishments and the benefits he brought to Egypt. The presence of Greek allowed scholars to eventually decode the hieroglyphs, unlocking the language of ancient Egypt.
