Deciphering the Rosetta Stone
After years of dedicated work, our scholars have made an incredible breakthrough. Using their knowledge of Ancient Greek, which is one of the languages displayed on the stone discovered in Rashid, they have successfully deciphered the other inscriptions. Through their efforts, we can now read and understand the ancient Egyptian script, unlocking knowledge from Egypt's distant past. This discovery is a monumental achievement for our scholars and a point of pride for the Flavor Rank.

3825historical_info = flavor_mam.62.historical_info Deciphering the Rosetta Stone was a monumental achievement which provided the key to understanding ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, a script that had been indecipherable for nearly 1500 years. The stone features the same decree inscribed in three scripts: Hieroglyphic, Demotic, and ancient Greek. Since scholars could still read ancient Greek, they used it as a starting point to unlock the other two scripts.
