👁Why was the Rosetta Stone so important?
🧠Franziska Naether
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣For centuries, scholars puzzled over the hieroglyphs they found carved onto ancient Egyptian ruins, tablets, and papyri. But in 1799, a unique discovery would finally help unlock their meaning. It was a stone inscribed with three different texts: Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and Ancient Greek. Franziska Naether shares how scholars decoded the ancient message of the Rosetta Stone. [Directed by Tim Rauch, narrated by Christina Greer, music by Stephen LaRosa].
