The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele inscribed with a decree issued in Memphis on behalf of Pharaoh Ptolemy V in 196 BCE. The Rosetta Stone was made as a result of Greek and ethnic Egyptian tensions, and as the Greeks felt resentment at not being able to read the hieroglyphs. It was written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Greek scripts.[1]
In July 1799, the French Army engineering officer[2] Pierre-François Bouchard found the stone during Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt. The text was deciphered by Jean-François Champollion, which provided the key to understanding hieroglyphics.[3]
The Templars later procured a rubbed transfer of the Stone's missing section. Champollion, an Assassin ally, discovered that the rubbing contained sensitive information concerning the Assassins, which prompted the French Assassins' ruling Council to task Arno Dorian with recovering its pieces, with Champollion's aid.[4]
