Accepted Answer

The Rosetta Stone (196 BC) contains the same text in three scripts: hieroglyphs, Demotic and ancient Greek. By comparing the three, Champollion cracked the hieroglyphs in 1822 — bringing the whole of Egyptian history back to life.

De Steen van Rosetta (196 v.Chr.) bevat dezelfde tekst in drie schriften: hiërogliefen, demotisch en oud-Grieks. Door de drie te vergelijken kraakte Champollion in 1822 de hiërogliefen — en kwam de hele Egyptische geschiedenis weer tot leven.
