Chapter:

A large, heavy package arrived at the scholars’ palace in Cairo. When they opened it, they found it contained a black stoned slab covered with writing in three different scripts. A note from a French army officer was inside the package saying that the stone had been unearthed in an old fort near the town of Rosetta, thirty-five miles north of Alexandria, Egypt. French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab.

Preface:

Before the Rosetta Stone was found, Egyptian history was lost to the world. The only clues were the mysterious picture writings that adorned temples and pyramids.
