Hieroglyphs: Unlocking Ancient Egypt <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 offered the exciting opportunity of reading ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs for the first time in centuries, but it would take until 1822 to achieve the complex task of decipherment. To mark 200 years since that landmark moment, this immersive exhibition at the British Museum explores the same hieroglyphic inscriptions used by the likes of Thomas Young and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Champollion as they raced to read the lost script, and so better understand the ancient civilisation of pharaohs and pyramids. <\/p>\n\n
