The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite (a type of granite) slab, discovered by a French soldier Pierre-François Bouchard in 1799, during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt.
The decree found on the stone, issued by a congregation of priests, established the 'divine cult' of the ruler. It also explained religious beliefs in detail and the influence of religion over politics.
The Rosetta Stone gives a detailed insight into education and architecture of ancient Egypt.
