quick facts
The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers in Egypt.
It is a stone slab with writing in three different scripts: Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and Ancient Greek.
Because the same text was written in all three scripts, it helped scholars decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, which had been a mystery for centuries.
The Rosetta Stone is currently housed in the British Museum in London, where it has been on display since 1802.
It is one of the most important artifacts in the study of ancient Egyptian history and language.
