RM2B00NA9–Egypt: The Rosetta Stone is an Ancient Egyptian artifact which provided the key to modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Created at the behest of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes (204-180 BCE). The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of a larger granodiorite stele, with an inscription recording a decree that was issued at Memphis in 196 BCE. No additional fragments were found in later searches of the Rosetta site. Owing to its damaged state, none of the three texts is absolutely complete. The Greek text contains 54 lines, of which the first 27 survive in full; the rest are increasingly fragmentary.
