The Rosetta Stone was an artifact discovered in Egypt in the 18th century, on which was carved a text in Greek and two dead Egyptian languages. The discovery of this artifact represented a breakthrough in the understanding of the theretofore untranslated Egyptian languages. Over time, "Rosetta Stone" became a metaphor for any similar object or text which translated an unknown language into one that is known. (DS9 - Mission: Gamma novel: Cathedral; CoE eBook: Ghost)

| - Egyptian hieroglyphics had been the standard writing system of ancient Egypt for several thousand years, since evidently nobody could think of a better way to write than by painstakingly carving pictures of gods and flamingos on stone tablets. However, due to gradual emergence of other civilisations and thus external cultural influences, especially by bloody conquest, the Greek language became the official language for all administrative purposes, necessitating the complete and total translation and renumbering of most government forms, which, for the bureaucrats involved, must have been a bitter taste of their own medicine, not in the least because of the amounts of papyrus involved. In addition, in a governmental effort to increase literacy rate from a mere 1.6%—particularly meager in view of the fact that the Egyptian elite and priests actually made up 2.2% of the population, not to mention probably closer to 0.16% since most census takers at the time were also likely illiterate—the government had already promulgated Simplified Hieroglyphics (hieratic script), which then had become the most common writing system amongst commoners, and was eventually succeeded by Simplified Egyptian (demotic script). By the time Ptolemy V came to the Egyptian throne, in fact, these efforts had become so popular that the usage share of Traditional Hieroglyphics had fallen dangerously low, even with the Egyptian elite. The high priests of the land, who still held knowledge of Traditional Hieroglyphics and were not just pretending, decided that it was time to take action. They devised a natural immersive language instruction stele through which the pharaoh could Learn Like a Child™—a dangerous gamble, since the pharaoh was 13 years old and may very well have been insulted at being called a child.

The stone was handed over to the Institute of Egypt where the road to translation began. The Greek portion of the inscription on the stone was translated by Reverend Stephen Weston in April 1802. The Demotic inscription was completed in 1802 as well by french scholar, Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy, and a Swedish diplomat, Johan David Åkerblad. As for the Egyptian portion of the inscription, an English physicist named Thomas Young deciphered that the stone contained a decree as he discovered the meaning of the cartouche hierogylph which indicated proper names thus identifying royals, Ptolemy and Berenika. Jean François Champollion connected the hieroglyphs to phonetics thus leading to a full translation of hieroglyphs.

Rosetta Stone avoids using the student's native language, relying heavily on pictures and multiple choice exercises, and it does not explicitly teach grammar.
