In our occasional series, I Didn't Know That, tonight Karyn talks to Brent Davis from University of Melbourne about a stone that helped unlock the secrets of hieroglyphs.
The Rosetta Stone is one of the most famous objects in the British museum, but how many of us know what it is or where it came from?
Dr Davis is a specialist in many things antiquity-related, including ancient languages and scripts, Philistine Archaeology and Archaeology of ritual and religion. He chats to Karyn about the process of understanding the Rosetta Stone.
