What cut the Rosetta stone?

Answer 1

The Rosetta Stone was cut during the Ptolemaic period in Egypt, specifically in 196 BCE. It is inscribed with a decree issued in honor of King Ptolemy V and features the same text in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic. This stone was crucial in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, as the Greek text provided a key to understanding the other two scripts. It was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt.
