How long was the rule of the dynasty that was active when the Rosetta Stone was inscribed?
Rosetta Stone The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele, found in 1799, inscribed with three versions of a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic script and Demotic script, respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. As the decree has only minor differences between the three versions, the Rosetta Stone proved to be the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Sur Empire The Sur Empire was an empire established by a Muslim dynasty of Afghan origin who ruled a large territory in northern part of South Asia for nearly 16 years, between 1540 and 1556, with Delhi serving as its capital.
