Ancient Egyptian Writing:Hieroglyphics

• Like the Sumerians, ancient Egyptians looked for ways to communicate via a written language.

• Unlike the Sumerians they developed a system based on picture symbols instead of wedge shaped script.–Hieroglyphics means “

sacred carvings”

THE ROSETTA STONE

The Rosetta Stone made it possible to read more than a thousand years of Egyptian history. The West used to marvel at the civilization simply because it was old, but this new wealth of information inspired an enthusiastic interest in Egypt.

Egypt became a subject of intrigue for the masses as well as the scholars -- tales of mummies, magnificent tombs and immeasurable riches appealed to everyone.

Cracking the hieroglyphic inscription on the Rosetta Stone was just the first step: It would take years to sift through the stacks of papyri and scan the walls of monuments to get a bigger picture of ancient Egyptian history.

Plenty of scholars were willing to devote themselves to the study of the civilization. As a result, Egyptology, or the study of ancient Egypt, evolved into a legitimate science as well as a topic of popular culture.

Why is the Rosetta Stone so important?
