The Rosetta Stone is the key that helped scholars decode some Egyptian hieroglyphics.
The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799 near Alexandria in Northern Egypt, was the key that unlocked the secret of the hieroglyphics.
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).
The key tool that helped researchers decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics was the Rosetta Stone. Discovered in 1799, it features the same text inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. The Greek inscription provided a crucial understanding of the language, allowing scholars like Jean-François Champollion to unlock the meanings of the hieroglyphs by comparing the texts. This breakthrough was pivotal in understanding ancient Egyptian civilization and its writing system.

Well, hieroglyphics helped them keep track of events, news, and leaders, for example; King Tut; The births of future leaders; and the reuniting of the 2 regions.
The Rosetta Stone is the artifact that helped crack the code of the hieroglyphics. The Stone spells out a royal decree in a variety of languages, and the difference between the languages helped scholars figure out what each of them meant.

It provided clues to the location of Rameses' tomb.
Jean-Francois Champollion unlocked the hieroglyphics in 1821-22. (Thomas Young was his fellow researcher)
Hieroglyphics are famous for a lot of things. 1) helped us understand the Egyptian community 2) showed us what the Egyptians believed in 3) tells us about the Egyptian "gods" and "goddesses" 4) kept the Egyptian records for us

The Rosetta Stone was helped to find out the meaning and the words of the Egyptian Hieroglyphics!
