Answer:

The importance of this to Egyptology is immense. When it was discovered, nobody knew how to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Because the inscriptions say the same thing in three different scripts, and scholars could still read Ancient Greek, the Rosetta Stone became a valuable key to deciphering the hieroglyphs.

Answer:

When the Rosetta was discovered nobody knew how to read Ancient Egyptian. but because the inscriptions say the same thing in three different languages, the Rosetta Stone became a very valuable piece of information. Through the work of many people, it took over 2 months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone had to say. The Rosetta Stone is a rock that was written on and was made to honor an Egyptian Pharaoh. The Rosetta stone today has many locations and some are relocated today, mainly because it makes it harder to be stolen. And because there is only one Rosetta stone other museums have papers and other documents that describe what the Rosetta Stone is about. The  Rosetta Stone was discovered on 15 July 1799 while digging the foundations of an addition to a fort near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta. It had been built into a very old wall. The officer in charge, Pierre-François Bouchard, realized the importance of the discovery.
