The Race to Decipher Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs

This talk covers the history of Egypt at the time the Rosetta Stone was constructed, a time of chaos and rebellion. Almost 2000 years later, the discovery of the stone led to decades of work by scholars to decipher the lost script of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and the final dramatic breakthrough, revealing Ancient Egyptian civilisation to the world.

A talk by Vicky Bailey London Blue Badge guide.
