The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian artifact inscribed with a decree issued in 196 BC. It features the same text written in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics, which allowed scholars to eventually decode Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone was crucial for understanding ancient Egyptian language and culture, as it provided a key to translating hieroglyphics. Discovered in 1799, it is now housed in the British Museum.
