Product Information

In 1798, the young French general, Napoleon Bonaparte, entered Egypt with an army and a brigade of savants, scientists, anthropologists, and historians. His aim was not just conquest on the banks of the Nile but the rediscovery of the ancient world after centuries of Ottoman rule. At the heart of this quest was a stone that was discovered in the small town of Rosetta in the Nile Delta that would offer the key to unlock the mysteries of ancient Egypt. It contained wording in Greek, hieroglyphs, and demotic Egyptian. It was the prize that Napoleon had dreamed of, but in a series of adventures the stone came into English hands. Discovery at Rosetta tells the full story of how the English won the battle to claim the Stone and how it was then shipped to England. The book also tells the story of the extraordinary characters involved in the race between Thomas Young and Jean-Fran ois Champollion to decipher the Stone's code.

Reviews
"A real-life story of intrigue, sacrifice and distrust in a country at war--the first complete account of the stone itself."-- Ancient Egypt "A cracking good read."--Professor Richard Holmes "A skillfully written, entertaining, and factual account of the stone's origins." --Professor Zahi Hawass "Downs tells an engrossing story full of larger-than-life and sometimes simply wacky characters."-- Publishers Weekly "Colorful"-- Kirkus Reviews "This latest recounting of the 1799 discovery of the Rosetta Stone--the key to deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics--focuses less on the decoding itself and more on the French invasion of Egypt that led to the discovery and the military and cultural battle with Britain that followed. British military historian Downs tells an engrossing story full of larger-than-life and sometimes simply wacky characters, led to Egypt by Napoleon. Among them were dozens of scholars, artists and scientists who produced an explosion of knowledge on both ancient Egyptian and later Islamic culture. The invasion itself ended in disaster when Admiral Nelson's armada destroyed the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile. Napoleon returned to France; his army, left to wither from heat, disease and deprivation, surrendered to Britain in 1801. Much of the book concerns clumsy French efforts to avoid turning over their artifacts, including the Rosetta stone, to the victors. Downs takes an original tack to this well-known story with a straightforward, dramatic account of the 1,500-pound stone from its discovery until its arrival at the British Museum, where it rests today. -- Publishers Weekly, "A real-life story of intrigue, sacrifice and distrust in a country at war--the first complete account of the stone itself."-- Ancient Egypt "A cracking good read."-- Professor Richard Holmes "A skillfully written, entertaining, and factual account of the stone's origins." -- Professor Zahi Hawass "Downs tells an engrossing story full of larger-than-life and sometimes simply wacky characters."-- Publishers Weekly "Colorful"-- Kirkus Reviews "This latest recounting of the 1799 discovery of the Rosetta Stone--the key to deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics--focuses less on the decoding itself and more on the French invasion of Egypt that led to the discovery and the military and cultural battle with Britain that followed.
