ROSETTA STONE Wine Glass

The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799 in Egypt, played a crucial role in deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. What makes it particularly interesting is that it contains the same text written in three scripts: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and Ancient Greek. This provided scholars with a key to understanding the hieroglyphic script, as they could compare the known Greek text with the unknown Egyptian scripts. This breakthrough opened up a window into the language and culture of ancient Egypt.
