Along with pharaohs, pyramids, the Sphinx and mummies, one of the most interesting discoveries related to the civilization of Ancient Egypt was writing. Hieroglyphic writing, whose name comes from the Greek word "hieroglyphikos", means "sacred sculpture". The Egyptians decorated their temples, monuments and tombs with hieroglyphic writing. Deciphering this writing began with the Rosetta Stone. In 1799, French soldiers under Napoleon's command in Egypt, while repairing a fort in the city of Rashid (also known as Rosetta), discovered a stone slab. It was covered with characters in three different scripts – hieroglyphic, demotic and ancient Greek. Between 1822 and 1824, the French linguist Jean-Francois Champollion succeeded in deciphering the text. If you are curious to know more, we are waiting for you at the museum!
