Description
The Rosetta Stone in the British Museum is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge, an Egyptologist and a curator at the British Museum. The book is a detailed account of the famous Rosetta Stone, a slab of black basalt inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis in 196 BC, during the reign of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The decree was written in three scripts ������� Greek, hieroglyphics, and demotic ������� and was instrumental in deciphering the hieroglyphic script of ancient Egypt. Budge's book provides a comprehensive history of the Rosetta Stone, from its discovery by a French soldier in 1799 to its acquisition by the British Museum in 1802. He describes the various attempts made by scholars to decipher the hieroglyphic script, including the contributions of Jean-Francois Champollion, who finally succeeded in 1822. The book also contains detailed illustrations and photographs of the Rosetta Stone, as well as other artifacts from ancient Egypt that are housed in the British Museum. Budge's writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both scholars and lay readers interested in the history and culture of ancient Egypt. Overall, The Rosetta Stone in the British Museum is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Rosetta Stone and its significance in the decipherment of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.1929.
