Question

Which of these is the BEST description of the inscription found on the “Rosetta Stone”?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C, praise for a king, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Discovered in the year 1799, the Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele. This stone is a broken part of a big stone. On this stone, we can find an inscription written in three scripts. The Rosetta Stone was founded during the occupation of Egypt by Napoleon Bonaparte.

There is an official message (known as a decree) written on the stone. The decree is about Ptolemy V, the Macedonian king of Egypt. The decree was copied on a large slab of stone which was called a Stelae. The historians have assumed that this Rosetta Stone is one of those copies. The decree is inscribed for times in hieroglyphs, Demotic and Ancient Greek. Therefore, the right answer among the given options will be option C ( praise for a king).
