The Rosetta stone is one of the most famous artifacts in the ancient world, inscribed over 2000 years ago and discovered in Egypt by a French soldier in 1799. It’s immensely important because it allowed people to translate Egyptian hieroglyphs for the first time. It unlocked the secrets and vast treasures of a forgotten civilisation. The door to the past was now open and to the archaeologist’s amazement their discoveries confirmed the Bible record.
