Calco in gesso offerto dal British Museum.La Stele di Rosetta è una lastra in granodiorite di 114 cm ? 72 cm che pesa circa 760 kg e che riporta un'iscrizione, divisa in registri, con tre differenti grafie: geroglifico, demotico e greco (dall'alto in basso). Demotico e Geroglifico non sono due lingue diverse ma due differenti grafie dell'egizio: il geroglifico era usato per testi incisi sui monumenti o in atti di particolare rilevanza mentre il demotico, che derivava da una semplificazione della grafia ieratica, era usato per documenti ordinari; nell' epoca tarda l'uso di redigere anche i testi ufficiali in demotico derivava dall'essersi ristretta quasi solamente alla classe sacerdotale la conoscenza della grafia geroglifica. Poiché il greco era conosciuto, la stele offrì una chiave decisiva per poter procedere alla comprensione dei geroglifici, e ciò avvenne nel 1822 ad opera di Jean-François Champollion. Nella Stele vi è riportato un decreto tolemaico in due lingue (ma tre grafie poiché l'egizio è presente sia in geroglifico che demotico) emesso nel 196 a.C. in onore del faraone Tolomeo V Epifane (al tempo tredicenne) in occasione del primo anniversario della sua incoronazione. Il testo riporta tutti i benefici resi al paese dal re, le tasse da lui abrogate, la conseguente decisione del clero di erigere in tutti i templi del paese una statua in suo onore, statue d'oro da collocare accanto a quelle degli dei e di indire numerosi festeggiamenti in onore del re. Stabilisce inoltre che il decreto sia pubblicato nella scrittura delle "parole degli dei" (geroglifici), nella scrittura del popolo (demotico) e in greco.

the small missing part of the cast is nothing more than a strip of plaster with two brackets that attaches to the wall the whole, however, even a little bit spoiled and I decided to cut it seems to me that this finding is not highly regarded because exposed a room used as a warehouse and mummies can pass without even aware of its presence. :-D:-D:-D

The Rosetta stone 's always been one of the things that most' fascinate me ... I've seen 2 times the British and did not even know there was a reproduction of the Egyptian Museum in Turin .. (and I lived 60km from them ').
I really like the explanatory comment (in many of your photos).
I like a little 'less the effect of this page and the original cast ..' .. and suspended the board so 'characteristic makes it even more' three-dimensional .. (even if 'infotografabile view of the crowd that there' always and often glass that protects it)
Hello
