The Rosetta stone (1/5)

The Greek Ptolemaic dynasty,which ruled Egypt from 305 BC to 30 BC, issued a series of decrees over the course of their reign known as Ptolemaic Decrees. The Rosetta Stone is a well-known example of one of the decrees.

The Rosetta Stone was included in the third part of a series of three decrees, the first from Ptolemy III (the Decree of Canopus), the second from Ptolemy IV (The Memphis Stele), and the third from Ptolemy V.

There are approximately two copies of the Stone of Canopus, two of the Memphis Stele (one imperfect) and two and a half copies of the text of the Rosetta Stone, including the Nubayrah Stele and a pyramid wall inscription with "edits", or scene replacements, completed by subsequent scribes.

Multiple copies of the stones were erected in multiple temple courtyards, as specified in the text of the decrees.

All Decrees have three written texts in 3 scripts: * Egyptian Hieroglyphs * Egyptian Demotic * Ancient Greek

His passion to destroy history is the real way to put it.

Rosetta stone represented a crucial key into the process of decryption of encoded informations, but I think many other valuable evidence of the past were lost or hidden...

@rockfellia

@rockfellia One of my favorites is the Naos of the Decades. The Rosetta stone was pivotal in understanding the Language. Yet so much of Champollions motivators came from the Naos itself. Furthermore, you have the Canupic region, most of which is submerged due to rising water level and various natural disasters. That was a very important region and much can still be discovered there.

If the Rosetta stone was not found by Europeans, it would probably be part of some stone house or hut in Egypt.
