This was very important to Egypt, they often made it the subject of sculpture. The scholars labeled the slab the “Rosetta Stone” in honor of where it was found. The French used what was well known as the rubbing paper teqnique, which allowed them to make copies of the Rosetta Stone’s inscription. The stones inscription was unknown to most because of the language it was in. Thomas Young, an english physician, was determined to solve the discovery language. He was unsuccessful.
