The Rosetta Stone by Dominique Valbelle

The fascinating story of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone by Napoleon's army and of the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphics, to which it offered the key. The Stone was stolen from the French by the British Army and removed to the British Museum in London, where experts tried to crack the code.
