=THE ROSSETTA STONE=

The Rosetta Stone is a Ptolemaic era stele inscribed with the same passage of writing in two Egyptian language scripts and in classical Greek. It was created in 196 BC, discovered by the French in 1799 at Rosetta, and translated in 1822 by Frenchman Jean-François Champollion. The Rosetta Stone is named after the town it was found in, Rosetta (Rashid).
