@David Egyptian history lasted four millennia. By the death of Cleopatra, (the end of ancient Egypt), thousands of monuments had been lost, and only a handful of priests knew hieroglyphics. Preserving what had always been and always would be was probably very far from their minds. The only thing close to that in our English based culture is Stonehenge, whose very meanings have changed over the myriad since it was first dug. But there was no writing when the henge was first dug, and later when the stones were added no writing was added. How well have we preserved Camelot and Suttin Hoo in the less than half the time of ancient Egypt?
@Benson I concur. Very little can equal this, and far fewer could surpass it. It helped us unlock hieroglyphics! Without it, Champolian(mssp?) would have been incomplete, never achieving his destiny. (I use hieroglyphics for language, hieroglyphs for the characters). I can think of but two things that could surpass this, and both of them are named "Ark".
Dude, I just had this Rosetta Stone thing mentioned in History college class today and this video appeared on my feed ramdomly, what a coincidence, I dont even research ancient history or archeology often.
I find it amazing that at the time of Alexander the Great , Egyptian Hieroglyphs were a LIVE language. It was a fairly recent event that Egyptian hieroglyphs were lost as a living script.
This was fascinating--thank you! I had always assumed that the process of deciphering the ancient language was a much simpler effort once the Rosetta Stone was discovered. It's a revelation to know more about the complications and the enormous effort it involved.
Few things have been omitted in this video. First: Champollion was a linguistic genius. At the age of 18 he was a professor at the equivalent of French high school. Apart from Coptic, he learned few more ancient languages, that were sort of within the family of languages , related to Egyptian in some way. The fact that it took him, the linguistic genius, 20 years to complete the task, shows how difficult, in fact, ancient Egyptian was. It had a difficult grammar and pronunciation, so that was really hard one to crack. Also, the relations to other languages were not as strong as with other languages, that could easily be deciphered.
I have a slab of basalt as long as this, but half as thick, and it weighs over 1000pounds. This must be far heavier. What a magnificent piece of history, and how fortunate that it was preserved as a building block.
It was not preserved, more the original was destroyed, broken up and the pieces were used to build a wal, to the people who used it this way the stone was only a building material. It was because of the interest in archeology in the academic circle of French and English that the English took the Rosetta Stone back to England, and the scholars deciphered the Rosetta Stone that it became a priceless treasure to the scholars. Without the dedications of those scholars the stone would still be part of a wall, or even crumbled to pieces by the power of elements. The demands and calls to return the Rosetta Stobe is Egypt is only because it is valuable now, otherwise no one cares.
Thank you for acknowledging so well the Coptic (monks) contribution. Many do not. It'd be like Renaissance artists or Enlightenment scientists neglecting to acknowledge medieval monks' transcriptions of Greek manuscripts.
More Ancient Greek manuscripts were preserved and translated by Islamic scholars. Some of the preserved Greek manuscripts in monasteries were preserved only because they were erased and reused for religious works (including in the bindings).
I actually touched this stone back in probably the 1980s when it was behind a low barrier rather than a case. I touched it and a recorded voice rang out telling me not to touch it. I have no regrets about this at all :-)
What amazes me at this up close look at the RS is how tiny the letters are. And in immaculately straight lines of text. Incredibly pristine after millennia.
Great video. Thanks. Could you share the contents of the Stone. What did it say? How have arqueologist/historians filled the gap where the stone is broken or missing?
The gap is something that raises natural questions. However (and I just learned this recently), there were many identical "Rosetta Stones" carved at that time, recording the same story in the same three languages. This video touches (lightly) on this near the beginning, referencing many steles carved and distributed to temples throughout Egypt. THE Rosetta Stone is the first of these to be discovered. I believe as many as 40 have been found since then. So, between the many stones, they have a complete text.
Say what you will about Napoleon, but credit to his the men who discovered the stone and had the foresight to understand how significant it could be. At least some of them must have been quite well educated.
Napoleon took artists, scholars, and engineers to Egypt, his soldiers stopped in their tracks when they first set eyes upon the pyramids. They made copies of hieroglyphs and took back many artefacts, I guess a lot were saved as well although nowadays they would be regarded as stolen
It also proves the great importance of scholars/scientists communicating with each other around the world 🌎. There should be no borders and/or political systems blocking the progress of knowledge. Knowledge will breakdown borders and diminish the need for political institutions. Knowledge is freedom 🕊️
What if I said I could read it SomeOne might say bull What if I said my ancestry is versed in pictographs and oral history Ones ears might pick up What if I said it was my understanding of physics and access to vast amounts of knowledge that let me discover it And It has already been discovered. That is the reason some can’t decipher it or publish it What if I said it was an instruction of how three different people’s came together to share wisdom to combine it only to make a steam engine and electric engine with batteries to produce steam at pressure and ice from fire,rock,iron,copper where needed. Electricity to produce light and sound that could be used to communicate over large distances and it was discovered just before 46AD and 1583 and has been under control for over 2000 years with a loss of knowledge between 1200 and 1500 respectively Would that be enough Well look it up and decipher it for your self
I love how scholars rarely give a crap about politics and they just focus on the work at hand, the question that needs an answer. Knowledge is what defines us. Lovely production, she knows A LOT, it's an absolute pleasure to hear people who love what they do. Thank you!
So, kind of, at the beginning of Egyptian writing only pharaoh name could be written by letters and the rest of is pure symbolism? Or this symbols allways had some pronouncation particles system?
It is an honour for the Muslim/Arab people that the arabic language has playing a significant role as the bridge to understand and deciphered the hieroglyphs

I've been to the exhibition, and it's awful. It looks nice, beautifully lit, but is soooo very wordy and dense, you can't follow the time line properly, only a specialist could really understand it (and there were a few in there to be fair).
Extremely smart move of The British Museum to dedicate a special exhibition to the Rosetta Stone & the decoding of Hieroglyphs. Under the guise of the upcoming historic date. To underline their "legal" ownership of this Egyptian artifact. In the hopes that Egypt, scholars, and activist will stop asking The British Museum to return the Rosetta Stone to it's historic and original owners.
@Ong Khuong Duy Muslim Egyptians are Copts who converted to Islam, meaning they have all the right to claim the Rosetta stone that was made by their ancient Egyptian ancestors. Spare us your history revisionism thief.
Its historic owners died out a long time ago. The Muslim Egyptians right now are descendants of Muslim invaders of Egyptian land. They have no more right to the artifact than the French and British invaders. The Copts have the most legitimate claim to the Stone, for they preserve the legacy of old Egypt
They deciphered it wrong . Even I know that with little knowledge. The symbols are words. They are only letters or roots of the word in the cartouche. That's why multiple symbols are the same 'letter'. Look at Alexandria and Cleopatra. Alecsandros and Kleopadra
of course though, the Egyptian Museum isn't known that well for their standards, look at Tuntankhamun's beard story for an example. Another part is that Egypt is not exactly politically stable and in the last coup in 2014 civilians had to protect the museum itself from opportunistic robberies. And of course there's all the chance the Rosetta Stone would disappear in ignominy if not for Europeans finding it
there is actually a version of the Rosetta stone which only includes the hieroglyphs, this same presenter was actually talking about it in some of her videos
We kinda do. Since we can now translate from greek and demotic into hieroglyphs. Also, there's been other versions of stones found with the same text that retains some parts of the hieroglyph part missing on the Rosetta stone. And more may turn up in the future.
You shouldn't be "Unlocking Ancient Egypt" from the British Museum. Give them back their peoples' artifacts! Don't you have your own artifacts to dig for?!
@Visassess That's bullshit. White people all through history have pillaged, raped, enslaved and appropriated anyone and anything they wanted. Things that never belonged to them in the first place. Now that they claim to be "civilized", if those VICTIMS' descendants want them back, they should at least _pretend_ to have enough integrity to do the right thing. The British Museum, the Royal family's collection, The Smithsonian and The MET in America, The Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin, The Musée Quai Branly in Paris and 100's more, ALL dumpster fires of morality.
Champollion couldn't really decipher the hieroglyphs, because he didn't know Albanian Language and the symbolic algorithm. There is only a way to decipher the hieroglyphs. You need two instruments: (1) the symbolic algorithm, found by Albanian Genie Mr. Petro Zheji and, (2) the Albanian Language. You just need to read the Book of Petro Zheji: "The mesianic role of the Albanian Language". Albanian is really the Cosmic Language, close to the symbols. She is the mother of all languages. Furthermore you have to read the Books: "Thoth spoke Albanian" by Giuseppe Catapano and "The Enigma" of Robert D'Angely. The old Sanskrit Language was in fact the Albanian Language. Sanskrit and Latin are dead languages, from the old languages is alive only the Albanian Language, it has strong roots. You find all the symbols on the albanian folkloric costumes too. The Greek Language is a very new language, has no roots, it can be easy deciphered through Albanian Language too. She has an absence of morphemes and needs some from Albanian Language. Most of the old population at that time in Epirus were Pelasgians/ Albanians. (after osmanic registers) Leibniz and others dreamed to create an universal language, but this is not possible, because the universal language - Albanian Language - exists.

It's alright to come forth with hypothesis, but let me do some cross-check a bit of it: "Tokyo = Toka Jonë = Our Land" "Tokyo" 「東京」 is a new word, created in the past thousand year. It literally means "east capital city" in contrast with "Kyoto" 「京」which is just "capital city".
How do you think the Rosetta Stone ranks among the greatest finds from the ancient world? 🤔
@David Egyptian history lasted four millennia. By the death of Cleopatra, (the end of ancient Egypt), thousands of monuments had been lost, and only a handful of priests knew hieroglyphics. Preserving what had always been and always would be was probably very far from their minds.
The only thing close to that in our English based culture is Stonehenge, whose very meanings have changed over the myriad since it was first dug. But there was no writing when the henge was first dug, and later when the stones were added no writing was added.
How well have we preserved Camelot and Suttin Hoo in the less than half the time of ancient Egypt?
@Benson I concur. Very little can equal this, and far fewer could surpass it.
It helped us unlock hieroglyphics! Without it, Champolian(mssp?) would have been incomplete, never achieving his destiny. (I use hieroglyphics for language, hieroglyphs for the characters).
I can think of but two things that could surpass this, and both of them are named "Ark".
Dude, I just had this Rosetta Stone thing mentioned in History college class today and this video appeared on my feed ramdomly, what a coincidence, I dont even research ancient history or archeology often.
alright id say
Lol You think like me...I was like who they hell had todo that yo te stone lol
I find it amazing that at the time of Alexander the Great , Egyptian Hieroglyphs were a LIVE language. It was a fairly recent event that Egyptian hieroglyphs were lost as a living script.
@Pamela Sheridan no, hieroglyphics were the sacred writing form
Only the scribes
For the priests only I think?
This was fascinating--thank you! I had always assumed that the process of deciphering the ancient language was a much simpler effort once the Rosetta Stone was discovered. It's a revelation to know more about the complications and the enormous effort it involved.
Few things have been omitted in this video. First: Champollion was a linguistic genius. At the age of 18 he was a professor at the equivalent of French high school.

It had a difficult grammar and pronunciation, so that was really hard one to crack. Also, the relations to other languages were not as strong as with other languages, that could easily be deciphered.
I find it crazy how a civilisations language can be lost
Time change
Great work as always! I am a few classes away from finishing my anthropology degree and this was fascinating! Thank you All. 😎

It was because of the interest in archeology in the academic circle of French and English that the English took the Rosetta Stone back to England, and the scholars deciphered the Rosetta Stone that it became a priceless treasure to the scholars. Without the dedications of those scholars the stone would still be part of a wall, or even crumbled to pieces by the power of elements. The demands and calls to return the Rosetta Stobe is Egypt is only because it is valuable now, otherwise no one cares.
Loved this video, I'd love more videos about inscriptions, manuscripts, ancient languages, anything like that!
Thank you for acknowledging so well the Coptic (monks) contribution. Many do not. It'd be like Renaissance artists or Enlightenment scientists neglecting to acknowledge medieval monks' transcriptions of Greek manuscripts.
More Ancient Greek manuscripts were preserved and translated by Islamic scholars. Some of the preserved Greek manuscripts in monasteries were preserved only because they were erased and reused for religious works (including in the bindings).
I actually touched this stone back in probably the 1980s when it was behind a low barrier rather than a case. I touched it and a recorded voice rang out telling me not to touch it. I have no regrets about this at all :-)
Those were actually the Ancient Egyptian spirits lmao
What amazes me at this up close look at the RS is how tiny the letters are. And in immaculately straight lines of text. Incredibly pristine after millennia.
Thanks for adding the ancient stuff! It’s making my world studies class more interesting!
Egypt is on my bucketlist. I’ve always had a pull towards Egyptian culture ever since I was a kid.
i'm a history junkie. this is what i binge-watch.
listened to this while doing my Middle Egyptian course work translating and grammatically labelling a stela
Great video. Thanks. Could you share the contents of the Stone. What did it say? How have arqueologist/historians filled the gap where the stone is broken or missing?
The gap is something that raises natural questions. However (and I just learned this recently), there were many identical "Rosetta Stones" carved at that time, recording the same story in the same three languages. This video touches (lightly) on this near the beginning, referencing many steles carved and distributed to temples throughout Egypt. THE Rosetta Stone is the first of these to be discovered. I believe as many as 40 have been found since then. So, between the many stones, they have a complete text.
Absolutely incredibly entertaining!
Say what you will about Napoleon, but credit to his the men who discovered the stone and had the foresight to understand how significant it could be. At least some of them must have been quite well educated.
@mike jones hmm
Napoleon took artists, scholars, and engineers to Egypt, his soldiers stopped in their tracks when they first set eyes upon the pyramids. They made copies of hieroglyphs and took back many artefacts, I guess a lot were saved as well although nowadays they would be regarded as stolen
Imagine the bloke that had to carve all of that writing a thousand years ago!
And there were dozens of copies - we have quite a few complete other editions too.
A thousand? It's over two thousand years old lol
Imagine a thousand blokes having to carve it a year ago
There were probably much worse jobs than that.
@Fambo Yoot -- compared with lots of other jobs, like mud stomper in the brickmaking operation, prolly wasn't too bad?
It wasn't very nice that Chompollion didn't acknowledge the assistance of his English colleague.
So real
It also proves the great importance of scholars/scientists communicating with each other around the world 🌎. There should be no borders and/or political systems blocking the progress of knowledge. Knowledge will breakdown borders and diminish the need for political institutions. Knowledge is freedom 🕊️

What if I said I could read it
SomeOne might say bull
What if I said my ancestry is versed in pictographs and oral history
Ones ears might pick up
What if I said it was my understanding of physics and access to vast amounts of knowledge that let me discover it
And It has already been discovered. That is the reason some can’t decipher it or publish it
What if I said it was an instruction of how three different people’s came together to share wisdom to combine it only to make a steam engine and electric engine with batteries to produce steam at pressure and ice from fire,rock,iron,copper where needed. Electricity to produce light and sound that could be used to communicate over large distances and it was discovered just before 46AD and 1583 and has been under control for over 2000 years with a loss of knowledge between 1200 and 1500 respectively
Would that be enough
Well look it up and decipher it for your self
Didn't know they found this in Memphis
Cost Champollion his sanity to crack the hieroglyphics, amazing sacrifice
The name of Goddess Sekhmet means: 🇦🇱 Sheh Qametin 🇦🇱 = Sees Doomsday
Lol
I love how scholars rarely give a crap about politics and they just focus on the work at hand, the question that needs an answer. Knowledge is what defines us. Lovely production, she knows A LOT, it's an absolute pleasure to hear people who love what they do. Thank you!
So, kind of, at the beginning of Egyptian writing only pharaoh name could be written by letters and the rest of is pure symbolism? Or this symbols allways had some pronouncation particles system?
Imagine if you make a mistake... They had to bin it and start from scratch 🙉
Nice, I was just wondering that yesterday
Very hard to say😮
Dr Ilona definitely is Dutch😊
She sounds more Flemish to me, but she could be Dutch.
I’m intrigued by that woman in the museum. She works in England, has a Slavic name but a Dutch accent… 🧐
How did the meanings of the hieroglyphs get lost in the first place?
We all know the answer
@Ryan Johnson comment deleted
@Real Aiglon Thank you. This makes sense 😊
How does any language get lost. Fairly obvious
Pyramid = 🇦🇱 Prej Ylli Ra Mbi Dhe 🇦🇱 = From The Star It Fell On The Ground
Look at his gesture hiding his hand … the hidden hand gave that info to him …
It was brought to Memphis by the king? Elvis?
It is an honour for the Muslim/Arab people that the arabic language has playing a significant role as the bridge to understand and deciphered the hieroglyphs
@Red stop crying, he don't know what he's talking about
They not even related u do potatoe
@Dr. Banoub-U💵C Alum‘86,’90 became he'll hole now
Muslim rulers attacked the Coptic, Egyptian, language and cut out the tongues of anyone who spoke it including women and children .
Pls give me more info ir places I can research more pls as I am studying Islam n fascinated by what u said
I’d never heard of Demotic script.
It's like shorthand for the much more elaborate hieroglyphs
Realy? Hieroglyph, Hieratic and Demotic are the three most common scripts of ancient Egypt.
We didn't crack it. We used it, since it contained languages that HAD been successfully translated to decipher hieroglyphics.

Why are « the Arabic scholars » not named? Should we not be interested in their original publications?
Imagine if Egypt 🇪🇬 wasn't robbed they would have a art & history museum like no other what a shame for the Egyptian people
@2msvalkyrie rubbish
Egyptian people usually stole everything from ancient sites and
tombs and sold it to travellers...
Egypt was part of Ottoman Empire
during this time.
Or they can be destroyed by islamist like in Syria and northern Iraq.
Well, at least nobody took the pyramids and sphinx. They still have those.
multicultural = conquered
~return the slaaaaaAAAaaaAAAaaabbbbb~
I've been to the exhibition, and it's awful. It looks nice, beautifully lit, but is soooo very wordy and dense, you can't follow the time line properly, only a specialist could really understand it (and there were a few in there to be fair).
Try: on You Tube…. Cymroglyphics 01 Overview (30 min video)
Proofreader : yo, we got a misprint over here.
Type setter : what should we do?
Editor : i'll get the chisel and call the quarry for a new block.
Not a word about Johan David Åkerblad?
? ? ? ?
Sorry, it was me, I dropped it......
I thought someone broke it when I first read the title.
Stop interrupting her! Jeez
They have time limits dart head
Extremely smart move of The British Museum to dedicate a special exhibition to the Rosetta Stone & the decoding of Hieroglyphs. Under the guise of the upcoming historic date. To underline their "legal" ownership of this Egyptian artifact.
In the hopes that Egypt, scholars, and activist will stop asking The British Museum to return the Rosetta Stone to it's historic and original owners.
@Mothball hmm
@András Szabó good point,
@Ong Khuong Duy
Muslim Egyptians are Copts who converted to Islam, meaning they have all the right to claim the Rosetta stone that was made by their ancient Egyptian ancestors.
Spare us your history revisionism thief.
@András Szabó egypt has been looted by different people for thousands of years before these white men stepped in
Its historic owners died out a long time ago.
The Muslim Egyptians right now are descendants of Muslim invaders of Egyptian land. They have no more right to the artifact than the French and British invaders.
The Copts have the most legitimate claim to the Stone, for they preserve the legacy of old Egypt
"We" didn't crack it. Champollion did.
0:20 my ears decides to malfunction
The word "incredible" means the opposite of how the host uses it many times.
Fascinating. (I'm using that word with its opposite meaning.)
It's about time you admitted how you broke it.
why would you intentionally crack the stone?!? that seems counter-productive...
or was it before they realized its importance?
Your logic is flawed. Greek also has determinatives. You see it in all the words starting with E that should be pronounced The.
They deciphered it wrong . Even I know that with little knowledge. The symbols are words. They are only letters or roots of the word in the cartouche. That's why multiple symbols are the same 'letter'. Look at Alexandria and Cleopatra. Alecsandros and Kleopadra
The Rosetta Stone belongs to a museum in Egypt. Give it back please
The British Museum stole a lot of artifacts so yeah this real though
@Max Pis damn
of course though, the Egyptian Museum isn't known that well for their standards, look at Tuntankhamun's beard story for an example. Another part is that Egypt is not exactly politically stable and in the last coup in 2014 civilians had to protect the museum itself from opportunistic robberies. And of course there's all the chance the Rosetta Stone would disappear in ignominy if not for Europeans finding it
ALL those finds need to be returned to Egypt
With a sledgehammer...
Where’s the rest of the stone. Wouldn’t the other pieces be found laying close by?
For such an 'important' message, they sure wrote it in small text. Lol, was that due to lazy workers told to "put one in each temple?"
It's too bad we'll never know what was on the missing pieces...
there is actually a version of the Rosetta stone which only includes the hieroglyphs, this same presenter was actually talking about it in some of her videos
We kinda do. Since we can now translate from greek and demotic into hieroglyphs.
Also, there's been other versions of stones found with the same text that retains some parts of the hieroglyph part missing on the Rosetta stone. And more may turn up in the future.
You shouldn't be "Unlocking Ancient Egypt" from the British Museum. Give them back their peoples' artifacts! Don't you have your own artifacts to dig for?!
@BoyProdigyX
Calm the F down. Egyptians are part of the same White racial category which encompasses people who originate from Europe and MENA.
@Visassess That's bullshit. White people all through history have pillaged, raped, enslaved and appropriated anyone and anything they wanted. Things that never belonged to them in the first place. Now that they claim to be "civilized", if those VICTIMS' descendants want them back, they should at least _pretend_ to have enough integrity to do the right thing. The British Museum, the Royal family's collection, The Smithsonian and The MET in America, The Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin, The Musée Quai Branly in Paris and 100's more, ALL dumpster fires of morality.
Egypt has the pyramids, the Sphinx and a bunch of made up tourist trap items to sell. The British should keep things like this.
Is there any British thing in British museum?
I heard stories.
Who's "we"? Got a frog in your pocket?
Close. A heteropagus ("parasitic") twin in the abdomen.
Very disappointing. Gives no examples at al.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I bet some idiot dropped it when the British were stealing it. A stone that heavy is sure to crack if mishandled.
Return stolen artifacts!
Noo
I thought the Egyptians always thought the Pharaoh was a god. Are they saying that was a Greek idea?
The Loot Museum
@Real Aiglon and you guys think Americans are entitled lmao
Good God, somebody Please give that girl a hamburger!
Why is it still in a British museum. Stolen art from all over the world.
Champollion couldn't really decipher the hieroglyphs, because he didn't know Albanian Language and the symbolic algorithm.
There is only a way to decipher the hieroglyphs. You need two instruments:
(1) the symbolic algorithm, found by Albanian Genie Mr. Petro Zheji and,
(2) the Albanian Language.
You just need to read the Book of Petro Zheji: "The mesianic role of the Albanian Language". Albanian is really the Cosmic Language, close to the symbols. She is the mother of all languages. Furthermore you have to read the Books: "Thoth spoke Albanian" by Giuseppe Catapano and "The Enigma" of Robert D'Angely.
The old Sanskrit Language was in fact the Albanian Language. Sanskrit and Latin are dead languages, from the old languages is alive only the Albanian Language, it has strong roots. You find all the symbols on the albanian folkloric costumes too.
The Greek Language is a very new language, has no roots, it can be easy deciphered through Albanian Language too. She has an absence of morphemes and needs some from Albanian Language. Most of the old population at that time in Epirus were Pelasgians/ Albanians. (after osmanic registers)
Leibniz and others dreamed to create an universal language, but this is not possible, because the universal language - Albanian Language - exists.
