Dubbed "another Rosetta Stone," the Taposiris Magna Stele was discovered by archaeologists
in the town of Taposiris Magna near Alexandria. Dated two years earlier than the Rosetta
Stone, the limestone decree tells how Ptolemy V gave part of Nubia to the Egyptian goddess
Isis. Unlike the Rosetta Stone, however, only Egyptian hieroglyphs and Demotic script survive
on this sample. (Source: discover magazine)
