The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian granodiorite stele inscribed
with a decree issued by King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three
scripts with essentially the same text: the upper text is Ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion Demotic script, and the lowest
Ancient Greek. It provided the key to the modern understanding of
Egyptian hieroglyphs.
