The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers who were part of Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt. They were engaged in the construction of a fort near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) when they unearthed the stone while excavating for building materials. The stone was later recognized for its inscriptions in three scripts, which ultimately provided the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
