Rosetta Stone Fragment

Dating to 196 BC in the Ptolemaic Period, the Rosetta Stone was discovered in Egypt in 1799 by French soldiers. This fragment records a decree in hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek, issued under Ptolemy V. Its trilingual text enabled Jean-François Champollion to decipher hieroglyphs, bridging ancient Egyptian culture with modern understanding of its language and history.
