The Legacy of The Egyptian Rosetta Stone
The translation of the Rosetta Stone changed the way civilizations around the world view Egyptian history and its influence on modern architecture, government, and education. If the Rosetta Stone had not been found, Egypt would be different because people from around the world, not understanding the architecture, famous sites, and temples may have destroyed them. As a result, much of the Egyptian history and culture may have been destroyed as well. Now, because of the Rosetta Stone, new buildings have been built to resemble Egyptian temples, and many obelisks like the Washington Monument have been built. By copying Egyptian architecture and lifestyle, other cultures feel more powerful because of the ancient civilization's advanced skills. The discovery of the stone caused civilizations to want to copy Egypt. The learning program also named the Rosetta Stone was influenced by the Egyptian stone. The learning program was developed in 1992 by Allen Stoltzfus to help others enjoy learning new languages. Like the translation of the Egyptian Rosetta Stone, the language learning program also helped others to understand more about cultures around the world. In the end, the Rosetta Stone helped connect Egypt to other cultures because people could understand exactly what the culture of Ancient Egypt was. As a turning point in history, the legacy of the Egyptian Rosetta Stone has been to connect cultures and unlock the secrets of Ancient Egypt.
