Good evening, everyone. Today, we delve into the fascinating story of the Rosetta Stone, a key that unlocked the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Discovered in 1799 by French soldiers in Egypt, this artifact bears inscriptions in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphic, making it pivotal for scholars to finally understand hieroglyphs.

It's housed in the British Museum today, a testament to the enduring fascination of humankind towards ancient civilisations.
