Explanation:
The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of a stele, which is a stone intended for inscriptions, which could be governmental or religious, and was widely used in ancient Egypt.
In this irregularly shaped stone, it contained fragments of passages written in three different languages: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian Demotic. Hieroglyphs are ancient Egyptian writings, difficult to translate and demotic is a simpler, popular version of hieroglyphics. Demotic language had already appeared in ancient papyrus, which was an Egyptian writing material, so based on this, scholars came to the conclusion that demotic language was related to the Egyptian language.
