The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone

Explanation:

• The Riddle of the inscription is that the true story of how ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics were found. For over 1400 years ancient Egyptian writing had been a mystery, as hieroglyphics had been replaced by another language, Coptic, then Arabic. As years passed, fewer and fewer people retained the old language until it absolutely was completed forgotten.
• The true turning point within the mystery of the hieroglyphics befell after the invasion of Egypt, by Napoleon Bonaparte. Because of his interest within the ancient writing, Napoleon brought with him 167 scholars and scientists. These individuals proved quite useful after the unearthing of an oversized black stone within the town of Rosetta.
• The Rosetta stone, because it was named, held the key to ancient Egyptian writing. It contained a message copied in three different languages: hieroglyphics, demotic, and Greek. Scientists and historians knew they only had to check the Greek characters with the hieroglyphics to unlock the mystery.
• Though it should sound simple enough, the task wouldn't be completed by one man alone. The book takes its reader through the paths of several scholars, men who obsessed over the writing, and dedicated their lives to its meaning. Over the subsequent thirty years Sylvestre de Stacy, Johan Akerblad, Dr. Egyptologist, and at last Jean-Francois Champollion described the traditional writing on the Rosetta stone.
• By solving the mystery of the Rosetta stone scholars were ready to describe similar writings of ancient Egypt. Historians can now accurately describe religious beliefs, the political systems, and also the day-to-day lifetime of ancient Egyptians. the invention of 1 rock truly changed the face of history.
