Decipherment of Ancient Egyptian Language

Rosetta Stone

"A French officer of Napoleon’s engineering corps found this stone near the city of Rashîd (Rosetta), Egypt, in 1799. Known as the Rosetta Stone, it provided the key to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta Stone, inscribed in 196 bc, contains the same message—a decree praising the Egyptian King Ptolemy V—carved in three different scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Egyptian demotic, and Greek. Scholars deciphered the hieroglyphic and demotic versions by comparing them to the Greek translation." [Quoted from MS Encarta]
