The Rosetta Stone is written in two languages, Egyptian and Greek, using three scripts: hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek. It was carved in 196 B.C. and found in a small village by french soldiers in the Delta called Rosetta.

The Rosetta Stone is a black basalt stone and it is a tool that was used by European researchers to find translations of ancient texts. It was translated by Jean- Francois Champollion in 1822 and by Thomas Young in 1823, and because Greek was well known by the researchers, the Rosetta Stone was the key to understanding Mdw Ntr. The stone has been in the British Museum since 1802. It is about 46.5 inches high, about 30 inches wide and about 12 inches deep, and it weighs three quarters of a ton.

French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard was born in 1772 and died in 1832. He discovered the Rosetta Stone in the Egyptian port city of Rosetta, which is now know as Rashid, on July 15, 1799. 1400 years, after the language was no longer in use, no one knew how to read Mdw Ntr until Bouchard discovered it. Then, French scholar Jean François Champollion discovered the mystery of Mdw Ntr. Champollion began his work on the Rosetta Stone inscriptions in 1808 at age 18. After 14 years of study, he finally deciphered the Rosetta Stone.
