The Rosetta Stone - Incredible Discovery of the Ancient World

The Rosetta Stone - Incredible Discovery of the Ancient World On this episode of Traveling Through History, we take a look at one of the greatest discoveries in archaeological history, the Rosetta Stone.  The Rosetta Stone is a stele of granodiorite inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes.  The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic  and Demotic scripts, respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. It was found there in July 1799 by French officer Pierre-François Bouchard during the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt.  It was the first Ancient Egyptian bilingual text recovered in modern times, and it aroused widespread public interest with its potential to decipher this previously untranslated hieroglyphic script.  When the British defeated the French, they took the stone to London under the terms of the Capitulation of Alexandria in 1801.  Since 1802, it has been on public display at the British Museum almost continuously and it is the most visited object there. Study of the decree was already underway when the first complete translation of the Greek text was published in 1803. Jean-François Champollion announced the transliteration of the Egyptian scripts in Paris in 1822; it took longer still before scholars were able to read Ancient Egyptian inscriptions and literature confidently.  Major advances in the decoding were recognition that the stone offered three versions of the same text (1799); that the Demotic text used phonetic characters to spell foreign names (1802); that the hieroglyphic text did so as well, and had pervasive similarities to the Demotic (1814); and that phonetic characters were also used to spell native Egyptian words (1822–1824).
