Valuable Archaeological Findings That Have Shaped History Over Milennia

The Rosetta Stone, discovered by Napoleon’s forces in 1799 in Rashid, Egypt, is housed in the British Museum as its star exhibit. It marked the beginning of understanding ancient Egyptian scripts after its 1802 arrival in England.

The Rosetta Stone’s trilingual inscription in hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Ancient Greek was crucial for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics, thereby unlocking secrets of ancient Egypt’s language and culture. Its discovery has significantly broadened our knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization.
