The Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. It was found near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) and later became crucial for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone features the same text inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic, which enabled scholars, particularly Jean-François Champollion, to unlock the language of ancient Egypt.
