Thats Older Than Dirt!

               So your probably wondering since this thing is from Ancient Egypt its probably pretty old. Well your right, this stone is older than dirt! It dates back all the way to 196 B.C!  But in the August of 1799, Napoleon's Army discovered it buried under years of mud and dirt in the small delta town of Rashid. But in 1802, when Alexandria was surrendered to Great Britain the Rosetta Stone was handed over as well. Then immediately after they had possession of the stone research began on it and the more they researched the more questions arose. They figured out it was written in 3 scripts(as you already know) but they didn't understand the first script or the second but they figured out the second soon enough. But the way they deciphered the hieroglyphics... Coptic!
