DATE THAT SHAPED EGYPT

July 19, 1799

A soldier repairing a fort found the key to the pharaohs

Near Rosetta, a French soldier named Pierre-François Bouchard noticed a black stone slab with three scripts carved into it — hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Greek. Schoolbooks celebrate the Rosetta Stone as a translation tool, but the deeper story is this: for centuries, Egypt's own people could not read the writing on their ancestors' walls. That accidental discovery reopened a conversation between modern Egypt and a civilization that had been silent for 1,400 years.

REMEMBER EGYPT BY THIS

Remember Egypt by July 19: the day a cracked stone let the Nile Valley read its own forgotten voice.
