This Stone was named Rosetta Stone as it was discovered in the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta in the Mediterranean Sea. On this Stone one text was inscribed in three different scripts: hieroglyphs, Demotic and Greek, and this Stone was the key to deciphering the hieroglyphs. The Stone was discovered by a French soldier, who was with Napoleon Bonaparte in his campaign to Egypt, 19 July 1799. It contained a Royal Decree issued in Memphis during 196 BCE by the Egyptian priests commemorating the memory of Ptolemy V Epiphanes. This Stone during its discovery was a linguistic mystery and was not deciphered for hundreds of years, until the French archaeologist Jean-François Champollion deciphered these languages after comparing with the Greek text and other hieroglyphic texts.

Ancient Egyptian language was written in four different scripts: 1- Hieroglyphic Script: Hieroglyphic means “sacred inscriptions”, referring to its inscription on the walls of sacred places, and was written in raised and sunken reliefs on the walls of the fixed or movable monuments. Hieroglyphs was an official writing style to record events and religious texts. 2- Hieratic Script: The word is derived from the Greek word hīratikos, meaning “priestly”; reference to the usual script used by priests. The Hieratic Script is a simple form of Hieroglyphic script, or in other words an abbreviation of it. In its writing, reed and ink were used, because Hieratic was not carved in stone as hieroglyphs. 3- Demotic Script: It is known as “the popular script” reflecting its daily use. Hieratic was written on papyrus and ostraca. 4- Coptic Script: It represents the last stage of the development of Egyptian writing. The word Coptic is probably derived from the Greek word Aegptos referring to the Egyptian citizen who lived on the land of Egypt, and to the writing that expressed his language at that stage.
