The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of an ancient Egyptian stele bearing three versions of the same text, which enabled the deciphering of hieroglyphs in the 19th century. The inscription is a decree promulgated in Memphis by Pharaoh Ptolemy V in 196 BC. The decree is written in two languages (Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek) and three scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and the Greek alphabet.
