The Rosetta stone was a big help in deciphering the language
It was written in three languages, Heiroglyphs, Latin and Demotic (another Egyptian dialect)
It helped a great deal as people already understood some heiroglyphs and using the latin and demotic they could see patterns and which symbol could be which letter
Hyrogliphics is the earliest form of writing by the Egyptians.
In Egypt, an officer of Napoleon's engineering corps discovered the Rosetta Stone in 1799. This artifact, inscribed with a decree in three scripts—Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic—was crucial in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone's discovery significantly advanced the understanding of ancient Egyptian language and culture.
These are called Hieroglyphs. They were used in Ancient Egypt.
The name Rosetta comes from the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in Egypt, where the famous Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799. The Rosetta Stone played a pivotal role in deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and unlocking a deeper understanding of the ancient civilization. As a result, the name "Rosetta" has become associated with decoding or unlocking knowledge in various contexts.
He first learned about the Rosetta Stone in a history class during his school years, where it was introduced as a significant artifact in the study of ancient Egypt. The teacher emphasized its importance in deciphering hieroglyphs, sparking his interest in archaeology and linguistics. Later, he explored more about the stone through books and documentaries, deepening his understanding of its role in unlocking ancient Egyptian language and culture.

its written in hieroglyphs its a Egypt drawing but their letters
The Rosetta Stone was instrumental in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, an ancient writing system used in Egypt. The stone features a decree inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphs, allowing scholars, particularly Jean-François Champollion, to understand the hieroglyphs by comparing them to the known Greek text. This breakthrough opened the door to the understanding of ancient Egyptian culture, history, and language.
There are 700 hieroglyphs
No. Only in ancient Egypt.
hieroglyphs were first used in ancient Egypt.
Jean-François Champollion is best known for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, unlocking the language of ancient Egypt. In 1822, he announced that he had understood the script, particularly through his analysis of the Rosetta Stone, which featured the same text in Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphs. Champollion's work demonstrated that hieroglyphs were not only pictorial symbols but also included phonetic components, enabling the translation of numerous ancient texts and significantly advancing the field of Egyptology.
