Product information "Plaque 'The Rosetta Stone'"
For historians, it is the key to the secrets of Egypt: with this tablet, the French scholar Francois Champollion succeeded in deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs for the first time in 1821. A decree issued by the priests of Memphis to King Ptolemy V is inscribed on the tablet. In Ancient Egyptian, in the vernacular Demotic and in Greek. At that time a sign of peace and equality between peoples - today an incredible stroke of luck for researchers. Original: Basalt. British Museum, London. 196 BC, found in the Nile Delta. Polymer ars mundi museum replica, moulded by hand. Reduction. Size 15 x 20 cm.
