Location City -  Giza
State -  PHARAONIC VILLAGE.
Country - Egypt   Egypt
About This is a capture of a Kartouche engraved on a copy of the famous "Rosetta Stone" found at the Pharaonic village.

This stone was the key that unlocked the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Napoleon's troops discovered it in 1799 near the seaside town of Rosetta in lower Egypt, and it eventually made its way into the British Museum in London where it resides today.

It is a slab of black basalt dating from 196 BC. inscribed by the ancient Egyptians with a royal decree praising their king Ptolemy V.

The inscription is written on the stone three times, once in hieroglyphic, once in demotic, and once in Greek.

Thomas Young, a British physicist, and Jean Francois Champollion, a French Egyptologist, collaborated to decipher the hieroglyphic and demotic texts by comparing them with the known Greek text.

From this meager starting point a generation of Egyptologists eventually managed to read most everything that remains of the Egyptians' ancient writings.

Camera settings: 1/160 sec - f/2.8 - ISO 200 - FL 100mm.

Nicely taken with the shallow dof, it somehow makes it of more importance. Great description Khaled. Alison

Good capture of the detail and textures here, Khaled and the selective focus works very well. Thanks for including the history, too, it really helps to put an image into context.

Fascinating Khaled. I have studied Hieroglyphics and this one . . . in particular . . . has captured the Pharonaic name in the circular engraved image (center right). FASCINATING subject to me and an excellent capture!!! Ancient Egyptians wrote both left to right AND right to left . . . the key being the direction of the faces in the hieroglyphics. GOOD STUFF!!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
