Bonjour! I am Pierre Bouchard, one of Napoleon’s soldiers. When Napoleon brought us to invade Egypt in 1798, he told us to seize all important cultural artifacts for France. Well, while other soldiers were bringing in ________________________ things like journals, obsolete weapons and books, I found something that was amazing.

MY discovery has ____________________ information across the world about an almost dead type of writing! I found the Rosetta Stone!

The Rosetta Stone holds the key to understanding Egyptian __________________________- a script made up of small pictures that was used originally in ancient Egypt for religious texts.

The stone was carved by a council of priests who were honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. They wanted the entire ___________________ of Egyptian society to be able to read the stone, so they inscribed the stone three times, once in hieroglyphics, which is suitable for priestly decree; demotic, which was the native script used for the citizens; and Greek, which was the language of the administration

I expected to receive many rewards that _________________ from Napoleon’s royal praise to the thing I coveted even more, receiving the tall bearskin cap of the Imperial Guard.

The cap would have a brass plate stamped with an imperial eagle that _________________ a beautiful, shining ray of gold on everything I walk past, but before I could get the first reward, the nasty British defeated my brave leader, Napoleon, and insisted that he give them my amazing find. What a loss! I really wanted that cap!

From what I have heard, the British allowed several British scholars to look at the stone, and one, Thomas Young, determined that some ________________________of the hieroglyphs were based on the sounds of the name Ptolemy.

But it took a FRENCH scholar, Jean-Fracois Chapollion, to realize that all hieroglyphs recorded the sounds of the Egyptian language, and then he used his knowledge of the Greek language to do a complete ______________________ of the stone.

It did not take a/an _______________________with lots of glass and equipment to solve the mystery, just a very smart Frenchman.

When those British took the stone from my glorious country, they housed it at the British Museum in London; it has become an ____________________________ exhibit, but it still holds mystery and intrigue for those who visit it. Imagine, all because I, a lowly French soldier in Napoleon’s La Grande Armee, found a two foot rock!
