PASSAGE
Discovered in 1799 by a French soldier in Egypt, this slab of granodiorite is inscribed with a decree issued in 196 BCE. The decree appears in three different scripts: Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and Ancient Greek. Because the Greek text could be read, scholars were able to use it as a key to finally decipher the previously unreadable hieroglyphs, unlocking the secrets of ancient Egyptian writing.
Which sentence is the best introduction to the passage?
