The Rosetta Stone: How One Rock Unlocked the Secrets of Ancient Egypt
TIL people don't know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my "daily bread" when I was little, never realized that this isn't common
Yeah I remember learning about this in elementary school.
Also about fourth grade history.
I love reading about the bronze age, but I didn't know it was a French soldier that found it or that it was early as 1799. I expected it was much later, by some explorer.
