The Rosetta stone.
The discovery of the Rosetta Stone, in a small Nile Delta village called Rashid (Rosetta) in 1799 made possible great advances in the interpretation of hieroglyphics.
Carved in 196 BC, it is written in Egyptian and Greek, using Egyptian Demotic, Egyptian hieroglyphic, and Greek (the language of the Egyptian government). It is a stone tablet (stele) written by priests and tells of the virtues and achievements of the Pharoah, Ptolemy V, describing his repeal of taxes and intention to erect statues to the gods.
The study of the same text in the three scripts together with other ancient writings, made it possible over many years for the Frenchman, Jean-François Champollion and the Briton, Thomas Young, with their team, to decipher hieroglyphics to a far greater extent than previously possible.
