text is made up of three translations of a single passage, written in two Egyptian language scripts
(hieroglyphic and Demotic), and in classical Greek. It was created in 196 BC, discovered by the French in
1799 at Rashid (a harbour on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt which the French ref erred to Rosetta
during Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt) and contributed greatly to the decipherment of the
principles of hieroglyphic writing in 1822 by the British polymath T homas Young and the French scholar
Jean-Franois Champollion. Comparative translation of the stone assisted in understanding many
previously undecipherable examples of hieroglyphic writing. T he text of the Rosetta Stone is a decree
f rom Ptolemy V, describing the repealing of various taxes and instructions to erect statues in temples.
T he Stone is 114.4 centimeters (45 in) high at its tallest point, 72.3 centimeters (28.5 in) wide, and 27.9
centimeters (11 in) thick. Weighing approximately 760 kilograms (1,676 lb), it was originally thought to be
granite or basalt but is currently described as granodiorite and is dark blue-pinkish-grey in color. T he
stone has been on public display at T he British Museum since 1802.[1]
