Description: Brand new accurate laser etching/engraving of the famous Rosetta Stone created on black slate. This is our larger, thicker version. See listings for smaller versions. The skill of reading hieroglyphs was lost until the discovery of this slab of basalt stone found at Rosetta in the western delta in 1779. On the stone are three scripts. The bottom section is in Greek, the center in demotic (popular script originated in the XXVI dynasty, 700-600BC and widely used for the next thousand years), and the top in hieroglyphs. The stone was first set up in a temple. It was an elaborate "thank you" to the Greek ruler of Egypt, Ptolemy V, who reigned in the 2nd century B.C., for favors that he had given to the priests. The three scripts contained the same text, allowing the hieroglyphs to be translated. The Rosetta Stone is no longer unique, but it was the essential key to the modern understanding of ancient Egyptian literature and civilization. The term 'Rosetta Stone' is now used to refer to the essential clue to a new field of knowledge. This slate tablet displays the text and details of this historic artifact is intended to focus on the aesthetic and visual proximity experience rather than a practical way to read it. Each artwork from the Ancient Relica Series is created to be visually and tactically exciting. The heavy cold feel of the black slate and rough edges drives a sense ofdiscovery.
