The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. It was found near the town of Rosetta (modern-day Rashid) while the soldiers were rebuilding a fort. The stone features inscriptions in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics, which later became crucial for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
