The Rosetta Stone has writing on it in two languages (Egyptian and Greek), using three scripts:
- Egyptian hieroglyphic (at the top of the stone)
- Egyptian demotic (center of stone)
- Greek (base of stone).
The Greek and Egyptian demotic assisted in the successful translation of hieroglyphics in 1822 and pop goes the weasel.
The Rosetts Stone was found by a french soldier in Egypt while Napoleon Bonaparte was there. There are two languages on the Rosetta Stone: Greek and the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Because of the written Greek next to the Hieroglyphics, scholars were able to decipher the Egyptian Hieroglyphics; before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, no one could read the Heiroglyphics.
The Rosetta Stone is written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptian demotic script, and ancient Greek.
