B.It provides an opportunity to decipher the unknown hieroglyphs by matching them to the known Greek language.
Explanation:
The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of an ancient Egyptian stele which has a royal decree from the year 196 BCE, published in Memphis by the Pharaoh Ptolemy V. This decree was written in three different languages and alphabets: in Egyptian hieroglyphs, in Demotic scripture, and Ancient Greek. Thanks to the fact that the same content is presented in the three inscriptions, this fragment was fundamental in the modern deciphering of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. In fact, it was discovered in 1799 by Pierre-François Bouchard, during the French campaign in Egypt, and in 1822, Pierre-François Champollion used his knowledge of Ancient Greek in order to match the Greek inscriptions with the hieroglyphs. It was the key to understand the Egyptian inscriptions and for the modern study of this ancient civilization.
