And according to the perceptions of a part of contemporary scholarship,, the ancient Macedonians used to speak in a language different from the ancient Greek, and it is more than obvious that they had to know how to read and write into their own language. This assumption is based on the fact that the rulers of Egypt in those times were the Ptolemaic dynasty, descend from Ptolemy Soter, general of Alexander the Great, i.e. A basic assumption of our research is that in writing the text on the Rosetta Stone three scripts were used, but in three languages: ancient Egyptian, written in the hieroglyphic script, ancient Macedonian, written in the demotic script, and ancient Greek written in the uncial alphabet. Consequently, current scholarship supports the theory that two scripts: the hieroglyphic and the demotic were used to inscribe the decree on the Rosetta Stone in ancient Egyptian language. Due to the difficulties in determining and deciphering the third language, which was used to write the middle text of the stone, in the first decade of the 20 th century the thesis that three scripts and two languages were used on the stone began to predomi- nate. The thesis that three scripts and three languages are used on the Rosetta Stone was widely accepted until the beginning of the 20 th century. According to the perceptions of contemporary science, as well as the text being written in three scripts, two languages had been used: ancient Egyptian, in the text written with hieroglyphs and in the demotic script, and ancient Greek in the text written in uncial alphabet. On the basis of the text written in the uncial alphabet, in 1822 the well-known French scientist Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphic script using the ancient Egyptian language for wiring for sound. The special interest arises because this decree was written in three different scripts: in hieroglyphs, in so-called demotic script and in the uncial alphabet. 44 The importance of the Rosetta Stone and the interest it has aroused in the scientific and scholarly world are based on the fact that special decree had been inscribed on it, which, according to contemporary scholarship, was issued by the priests in order to glorify the pharaoh Ptolemy V Epiphany Eucharist one year after his coronation, according to the present-day calendar on 27 th March 196 BC.
In 1802 the Rosetta Stone was moved to England where it still is today and is one of the best-known exhibits at the British Museum in London.
It has its name because the location where it was excavated, that is Rosetta, i.e. Rosetta Stone is one of the best known textual artifacts from ancient Egypt and has been the object of a great number of studies and much research in the scholarly world of this field.
