Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.
Another, more complete copy of the same decree that appeared on the Stone was found on a slab at Philae in 1848. Fuller translations of the hieroglyphic text soon followed. A Latin version came out in 1851, a French one in 1867, and an English one in 1871. But many of the hieroglyphs on this slab were missing also, so only a few words and phrases could be added to what was already known from the Rosetta Stone.
