The Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone In 1799, when Napoleonic troops tore down the walls of Egyptian Rashid, they discovered Rosetta Stone. They rarely know that this 11 inch thick rock will be one of the greatest historical discoveries. It includes the Egyptian scriptures and Greece is also on the stone. This is used to decipher the Egyptian writing system once lost. Prior to the 1800's, trying to reveal secrets hidden in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs found on the inner walls of many graves was a waste.

On July 19, 1799, Rosetta Stone was found in Egyptian Rashid (sometimes called Rosetta). Rosetta Stone is a huge black granite-like slab (called Stone Monument) designed to be built in public spaces. Rosetta Stone outlines a new ceremony on the worship of Pharaoh Ptolemy V in 196 BC. Rosetta Stone is engraved with three languages, Egyptian and Greek, and three texts: hieroglyphics, democracy and Greek. Scholars are proficient in ancient Greek and democratic languages, which is the writing system used by Egyptian scribes during this period. However, the translation of hieroglyphics is still a mystery. Rosetta Stone allows linguists to interpret hieroglyphs by comparing hieroglyphics with known text. Understanding the hieroglyphs has opened up almost all the ancient Egyptian languages ​​and literature for Egyptian archeologists and historians

Egyptians originally wrote and used hieroglyphs. At first, the meaning of the hieroglyph is unknown, until 1799 soldiers of Napoleon Bonaparte dug out Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone turned out to be broken and incomplete. It has 14 lines of hieroglyphics, Demotic 32 lines and 53 lines of ancient Greece. In the Bronze Age, Egypt belonged to the rule of Hyksos. The local aristocrat succeeded in expelling conquistadors in the late Bronze Age and launched a new kingdom. During this period the Egyptian civilization became an empire under the rule of Pharaoh Tott Morse III of the 18th century. Through the Amarna era and during the 19th and 20th centuries (Latin America) it remained the power of the super region and continued through the early iron age.

In historical archeology, written records are incorporated into archeological studies. One of the most famous examples of historical archeology is the discovery and decoding of Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is a marble plate discovered near the Rashid in Egypt by French archaeologists in 1799. It has become an important tool in historical archeology. This stone is engraved with laws that represent Pharaoh Ptolemy V. The law was written in three different languages ​​and engraved on the stone. Hieroglyphs, democracy, Greek. Hieroglyph is an image symbol used in official documents in ancient Egypt. Demotic is an informal script of ancient Egypt. Egyptian archaeologists did not understand hieroglyphics and democracy until Rosetta Stone was discovered. But they can understand Greek. Using the Greek part of Rosetta Stone, archaeologists and linguists can interpret the text and decipher the hieroglyphs
