Modern archaeologists have successfully deciphered the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that have been lost for many years by discovering and interpreting the Rosetta Stone in ancient Egypt.
At the end of the 18th century, French Egyptologist Fran?ois Champollion successfully deciphered the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics through in-depth research and comparison of the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone is a stone tablet inscribed with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, ancient Egyptian demotic script and ancient Greek, thus providing key clues for Champollion's interpretation.
With the help of the Rosetta Stone, Champollion discovered the phonetic system of hieroglyphics and then decoded the entire ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. His research laid the foundation of Egyptology and enabled the long-lost ancient Egyptian civilization to reconnect with the world. This discovery not only provides valuable information for our understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization, but also proves the greatness and infiniteness of human wisdom.
In addition to the contributions of the Rosetta Stone and Champollion, the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics is also inseparable from the research of scholars in other fields. For example, the British linguist Thomas Young's in-depth research on ancient Egyptian writing provided important inspiration and reference for Champollion. Similarly, the German antique dealer and linguist Carl Richard Lepsius collected many ancient artifacts and documents in Egypt and conducted long-term exploration and research on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Their efforts made important contributions to the decipherment of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The origin of ancient Egypt:
The Nile is a river that flows through eastern and northern Africa, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea from south to north. Together with the Congo River in Central Africa and the Niger River in West Africa, it is the three largest river systems in Africa. The Nile River is 6,670 kilometers long and is the longest river in the world. In 2007, some scholars from Brazil claimed that the Amazon River was even longer.
It has not yet gained general recognition in the global geography community. The Nile has two main tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The Blue Nile, which rises in the Ethiopian highlands, is the source of most water and nutrients for the lower Nile, but the White Nile is the longest of the two tributaries. Nile crocodiles live here.
The Nile River Basin is divided into seven major regions: the East African Lakes Plateau, the Mountain River Region, the White Nile Region, the Blue Nile Region, the Atbara River Region, the Nile Region north of Khartoum and the Nile Delta. The river flows north through Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and flows from the west into Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa.
