54 - DID YOU KNOW: Amazing Facts about Pharaonic History - Demotic script

#discover_in_history Ancient Egyptian scripts - Demotic script The Demotic or popular script, a name given to it by Herodotus, developed from a northern variant of the Hieratic script in around 660 BC. The Egyptians themselves called it 'sekh shat' (writing for documents). During the 26th Dynasty, it became the preferred script at court, however, during the 4th century, it was gradually replaced by the Greek-derived Coptic alphabet. The most recent example of writing in the Demotic script dates from 425 AD. The Demotic script was used for writing business, legal, scientific, literary, and religious documents. It was written almost exclusively from right to left in horizontal lines and mainly in ink on papyrus. Demotic inscriptions on wood and stone are also known. During the Ptolemaic Period, it was regularly carved in stone - the most famous example of this is the Rosetta Stone, which is inscribed with texts in the Hieroglyphic script, Greek and Demotic, and was one of the keys to the decipherment of Ancient Egyptian scripts. It was deciphered mainly by Thomas Young, who also attempted to decipher the hieroglyphic script, though without much success.
