The Rosetta Stone was a total game-changer for understanding ancient Egypt! It had the same text written in three different scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. Since scholars could read Greek, they used it as a key to unlock the meaning of the hieroglyphs. This helped us finally understand Egyptian texts, culture, and history much better. Without it, we’d still be scratching our heads over those ancient symbols!
