The Rosetta stone (4/5)

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

Spock, Spock! It ain't "DEMONIC," it's "DEMOTIC." Back to space, amigo; the past doesn;t seem to suit you . . .

@onuftijchuk

who are u reffering to?

[onuftijchuk]

@SPARTANsenator6

"Spock," is the character played by Leonard Nimoy, who narrated this series. So, "spock (i.e. Lennie Nimoy) it ain't DEMONIC script, it's called demotic. A goofy error (or a tad of ideology) committed by the script writer and perpetrated by Nimoy.

ok!

[1wishfulthinking1]

pffft, "demonic"??? This narrator is an idiot! The script is known as "Demotic".

I was wondering about this. I even googled "ancient egyptian demonic text", spotted the error pretty quick, and I know nothing about such things. Don't you think he would be like "Demonic? Demonic? That sounds kind of off. Are you SURE that's right?".
