My friend’s carefully-compiled notebook was the Rosetta Stone that opened understanding of the physics lectures.; A large inscribed stone found near Rosetta, Egypt, in 1799; later used as a basis for understanding many previously undecipherable examples of hieroglyphic writing; a large, ancient stone that was found in Egypt in 1799, which had the same piece of writing on it in three different writing systems: Greek letters, Egyptian letters, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. This important discovery made it possible for people to translate hieroglyphics for the first time. The stone is now kept in the British Museum. Inscribed stone slab, now in the British Museum, that provided an important key to the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. An irregularly shaped block of black basalt with inscriptions in hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and Greek, it was discovered by Napoleon's troops near the town of Rosetta (Rashid), northeast of Alexandria, in 1799. The text concerns the deeds of Ptolemy V Epiphanes (205-180 BC) and dates from the ninth year of his reign. Its decipherment was begun by Thomas Young, who isolated the proper names in the Demotic version, and decisively completed by J.-F. Champollion, who grasped that some hieroglyphs were phonetic; {i} inscribed black stone slab found by French troops in 1799 near Rosetta in Egypt that included the same text as in Greek and also ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic and demotic scripts; clue or discovery that provides important critical knowledge for solving of a problem or puzzle; A stone found at Rosetta, in Egypt, bearing a trilingual inscription, by aid of which, with other inscriptions, a key was obtained to the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt; an inscription of a black basalt stone; gave first clue to decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics
