What questions did the Rosetta Stone help Historians answer?
Historians were able to decipher hieroglyphics after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
What discovery allowed for the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphics?
The hieroglyphics of Egypt are one of the oldest forms of the written word known to man. The discovery of the Rosetta stone made it possible to read the hieroglyphs.
What discovery gave historians the key they needed to read Egyptian hieroglyphics?
The key discovery that enabled historians to read Egyptian hieroglyphics was the Rosetta Stone, found in 1799. This artifact features the same text inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. Since scholars could read Greek, they used it as a basis to decipher the hieroglyphic script, leading to significant advancements in understanding ancient Egyptian language and culture.
Did ancient hieroglyphics influence English alphabet?
How could it, we havnt found out how to read hieroglyphics until the discovery of the rosetta stone. So no, it can't be.
What did the discovery of the Rosetta stone lead to?
The discovery of the Rosetta Stone lead to the people to it, approximately 1930 BC, every Canaanite, Egyptian, and the Greeks could read what the Rosetta Stone had said we couldn't necessarily read it until it was discovered i don't remember by who but when it was, we found out what it said That's what the discovery of the Rosetta Stone lead to how it is today. Additional Info: The main 'benefit' or knowledge gained by decoding the Rosetta Stone was being able to decipher hieroglyphics. Up until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, it was assumed that hieroglyphics was a pictographic language, i.e. a picture of a bird represented the word 'bird'. However, after the discovery (and subsequent translating) of the Rosetta Stone, it was determined that hieroglyphics was a phonetic alphabet, where a picture of a bird might stand for the character "B" (that's not accurate, I'm just making an example). If you have ever used Wingdings in word before, you get the idea of what hieroglyphics are: a pictographic symbol that represents a single character.
