Summary of The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone
"Until the Rosetta Stone was finally translated and the decoding of hieroglyphic writing made possible, much of Egyptian history was lost. The author has done a masterful job of distilling information, citing the highlights, and fitting it all together in an interesting and enlightening look at a puzzling subject." ?H. "The social and intellectual history here are fascinating. A handsome, inspiring book." ?K.
