PASSAGE
(1) The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 by French soldiers in Egypt was a pivotal moment in the field of Egyptology. (2) The stone was inscribed with a single decree issued at Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BCE. (3) Crucially, this decree was written in three different scripts: Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and Ancient Greek. (4) Since scholars could still read Ancient Greek, they were able to use it as a key to unlock the meaning of the other two, previously undecipherable scripts. (5) It took more than two decades of intense study by scholars like Jean-François Champollion to fully crack the code.
