This book tells the fascinating story of one of archaeology's icons, from its creation in the second century BC, to its discovery in 1799 during Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, to the subsequent race to decipher its hieroglyphic text. Undertaken by two brilliant scholars - the Frenchman Jean-Francois Champollion, and the English physicist Thomas Young - it was the former who eventually succeeded in making the crucial breakthrough. Today the Rosetta Stone stands in the Museum as an enduring symbol of human understanding and communication through the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003eRichard Parkinson - Ричард Паркинсон\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003eBritish Museum Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e2005\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e64 pst\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e147 mm \/ 5,8'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e210 mm \/ 8,3'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e160 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e9780714150215\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Museum Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47591986167946,"sku":"1183252","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1070\/6314\/files\/The_Rosetta_Stone_Richard_Parkinson_-_9780714150215-1.jpg?v=1751632147","url":"https:\/\/bookstoreint.com\/products\/1183252","provider":"Bookstore International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
