What was the rossetta stone

Answer:

The Rosetta Stone helped scholars crack the long code of hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian writing system. It is an artifact made of granitoid. The decree on the stone is written in three ways: in hieroglyphics, which was used mainly by priests; in ancient Egyptian demotic, used for everyday purposes; and in ancient Greek. The use of hieroglyphics died out after the 4th century and the writing system became an enigma to scholars.

Hope this Helps!
