In 1798, young French general Napoleon Bonaparte entered Egypt with
a veteran army and a specialist group of savants-scientists,
engineers, and artists-his aim being not just conquest, but the
rediscovery of the lost Nile kingdom. A year later, in the ruins of
an old fort in the small port of Rosetta, the savants made a
startling discovery: a large, flat stone, inscribed in Greek,
demotic Egyptian, and ancient hieroglyphics. This was the Rosetta
Stone, key to the two-thousand-year mystery of hieroglyphs, and to
Egypt itself. Two years later, French forces retreated before the
English and Ottoman armies, but would not give up the stone. Caught
between the opposing generals at the siege of Alexandria, British
special agents went in to find the Rosetta Stone, rescue the French
savants, and secure a fragile peace treaty. Discovery at Rosetta
uses French, Egyptian, and English eyewitness accounts to tell the
complete story of the discovery, decipherment, and capture of the
Rosetta Stone, investigating the rivalries and politics of the
time, and the fate of the stone today.
