yes, they are what has helped use understand the past and it something for use to look to for the future.
Historians were able to decipher hieroglyphics after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
The language that helped scholars understand the meaning of the hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone was Greek. The stone features three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. Since the Greek text was well understood, it served as a crucial reference point for deciphering the other two languages, particularly hieroglyphics, which had been a mystery before the stone's discovery. This breakthrough was largely achieved by scholar Jean-François Champollion in the 1820s.
It provided the first chance to understand Egyptian Hieroglyphics writing by providing the same text in Hieroglyphics, Demotic, and Greek. Both the Greek and Demotic could be read to find out what was being said on the stone, the Hieroglyphics could then be compared and analyzed for patterns (similar to the way codes and cyphers are broken).
Hieroglyphics
This is not true. Many thousands of people today can understand and read Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The Rosetta Stone had three different languages one of which was Greek, and another was hieroglyphs. Historians already knew Greek so they used it to sort of decode the hieroglyphics.
The Rosetta Stone is the key that helped scholars decode some Egyptian hieroglyphics.
