Omschrijving

The Rosetta Stone is a book published by the British Museum that provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most important archaeological discoveries in history. The Rosetta Stone is a large slab of black basalt that was discovered in Egypt in 1799 and is inscribed with three different scripts: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, demotic script, and ancient Greek. This discovery was crucial in unlocking the mysteries of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, which had been unreadable for over a thousand years.The book includes detailed photographs and illustrations of the Rosetta Stone, as well as translations and explanations of the inscriptions in each script. It also explores the history of the stone, including its discovery, acquisition by the British Museum, and the ongoing efforts to preserve and study it. The book also delves into the broader historical and cultural context of the stone, including the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, the role of ancient Greek in the Mediterranean world, and the significance of hieroglyphs in ancient Egyptian religion and culture.Overall, The Rosetta Stone is a fascinating and informative book that provides a unique insight into one of the most important artifacts in human history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in archaeology, ancient history, or the study of languages and writing systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
