Answer 1

Egyptian hieroglyphic remained undeciphered until the 19th century. Members of Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition of 1799 discovered a black basalt stone, measuring 114 x 72 cm, at Rashid (Rosetta). The stone was carved with three different scripts: hieroglyphic, the derived demotic script, used for everyday purposes, and Greek.
