Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics: David and Mica

Egyptian Hieroglyphics
It was not until Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 that the wonderful artefacts of the Egyptians were seen in Europe and their ancient culture began to awaken from its long slumber. In 1799 a French captain named Pierre Bouchard discovered the Rosetta Stone which was carved with the same text in two languages, Egyptian and Greek, and three writing systems, hieroglyphic, demotic, and the Greek alphabet.

This was a tremendous piece of luck because it enabled scholars to unlock the hieroglyphic code and without the stone, we would know nothing of the ancient Egyptians, and the details of their three thousand years of history would remain a mystery. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hieroglyphics&safe=active&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=m-UzVJ_QMtLfaoCrgcAC&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=673#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ossgHmpQEAn5jM%253A%3BcdiUNK20xPONqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.uponreflection.co.uk%252Fhieroglyphics%252Fhieroglyphic_symbols%252Fegyptian_hieroglyphics.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.uponreflection.co.uk%252Fhieroglyphics%252F%3B325%3B226
