| In July 1799 French army engineers working near the Egyptian town of Rosetta noted that a section of the wall they were about to demolish had both Greek script and hieroglyphics carved into it. On a hunch, they saved it. The stone turned out to be the first Egyptian hieroglyphic document ever found that was accompanied by a translation into a modern language. With the aid of this "Rosetta Stone," researchers finally cracked the code of the hieroglyphics which had been indecipherable for more than 1,300 years. |
