Some great discoveries are made accidentally. In Egypt, in 1799 a French officer was walking slowly and saw a highly unusual stone which was partially buried in the mud. There were three inscriptions on the stone that was rather flat. The first one was in ancient Egyptian, the second one in the later Egyptian language. The third was in Greek. The message was identically stated in the three languages. The easily readable Greek gave the scholars the needed key. The message was understood and the text in ancient Egyptian was translated. Today, the historically important Rosetta Stone is in the British Museum of London and it is permanently displayed there.
