The Rosetta Stone was found in the port city of Rosetta, which is present-day Rashid, Egypt, on July 15, 1799. For a good look at the artifact and more information, use the Crystal link below.
It was found in some ruins near the town of "Rosetta" (Rashid) in Egypt in 1799. Soldiers in Napoleon's army were invading Egypt. In the process of building a new fort, they discovered the large stone (stele), which became the key to translating the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt.
