A Stone That Speaks
French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt discovered The Rosetta Stone. The stone is a text written by a group of priests in Egypt to honor the Egyptian pharaoh. The priests carved in two languages (Egyptian and Greek) and used three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek). It lists all of the things that the pharaoh had done that were good for the priests and the people of Egypt. The stone dates back to 196 BC, a pretty long time ago.
