Read the passage about the Rosetta Stone.

Another, more complete copy of the same decree that appeared on the Stone was found on a slab at Philae in 1848. Fuller translations of the hieroglyphic text soon followed. A Latin version came out in 1851, a French one in 1867, and an English one in 1871.

Then, in 1887, yet another copy of the decree—this one almost intact—was unearthed in the ruins of a temple in Lower Egypt. Now, for the first time, scholars had a version of the hieroglyphic text that they could compare line-for-line with the Greek and demotic versions.
