The '''Rosetta Stone''' is an [[Egypt]]ian writing made in 196 BC which inscribes the same message in [[hieroglyphics]] and [[Greek]]. When it was found in AD 1779, it enabled the translation of hieroglyphics for the first time. The hieroglyphics were first deciphered by [[Jean-Francois Champollion]] in 1822.
