Rosetta Stone, ancient Egyptian stone bearing inscriptions in several languages and scripts; their decipherment led to the understanding of hieroglyphic writing. An irregularly shaped stone of black granite 3 feet 9 inches long and 2 feet 4.5 inches wide, and broken in antiquity, it was found near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles northeast of Alexandria. It was discovered by a Frenchman named Bouchard or Boussard in August 1799. After the French surrender of Egypt in 1801, it passed into British hands and is now in the British Museum in London.

Great! Very Cool!! Love It!!!!
I needed to get a Rosetta Stone for my husband since it was the one thing we wanted to see but didn't get to at the British Museum. Instead, we could only see the replica on the first floor. Now he has his own Rosetta Stone that he can see whenever he wants. 🥰
