So, the majority of you answered Egyptian and that is correct. The Rosetta Stone is a stele containing three versions of a decree issued during the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt circa 196 BC. The top and middle texts are in the Ancient Egyptian language using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts, respectively. The bottom is written in Ancient Greek. Containing minor differences across the three versions, the Rosetta Stone was instrumental to deciphering the Egyptian scripts.
