Book summary

The great importance of the Rosetta Stone in solving the mystery of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs is told in this highly readable account of the key to deciphering Egypt's past. Giblin tells how the stone was discovered, how scholars struggled to translate the texts in three different languages carved on the stone--including ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs--and how the story of an ancient civilization was unlocked.
