The fast-paced and “engrossing account” (The New York Times Book Review) of “one of the greatest breakthroughs in archaeological history” (The Christian Science Monitor): two rival geniuses in a race to decode the writing on one of the world’s most famous documents—the Rosetta Stone.
The
Rosetta Stone is one of the most famous objects in the world,
attracting millions of visitors to the British museum every year, and
yet most people don’t really know what it is. Discovered in a pile of
rubble in 1799, this slab of stone proved to be the key to unlocking a
lost language that baffled scholars for centuries.
Carved in
ancient Egypt, the Rosetta Stone carried the same message in different
languages—in Greek using Greek letters, and in Egyptian using
picture-writing called hieroglyphs. Until its discovery, no one in the
world knew how to read the hieroglyphs that covered every temple and
text and statue in Egypt.
Dominating the world for thirty
centuries, ancient Egypt was the mightiest empire the world had ever
known, yet everything about it—the pyramids, mummies, the Sphinx—was
shrouded in mystery. Whoever was able to decipher the Rosetta Stone
would solve that mystery and fling open a door that had been locked for
two thousand years.
Two brilliant rivals set out to win that
prize. One was English, the other French, at a time when England and
France were enemies and the world’s two great superpowers. Written “like
a thriller” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), The Writing of the Gods chronicles
this high-stakes intellectual race in which the winner would win glory
for both himself and his nation. A riveting portrait of empires both
ancient and modern, this is an unparalleled look at the culture and
history of ancient Egypt, “and also a lesson…in what the human mind does
when faced with a puzzle” (The New Yorker).
