And you've got a copy of your book in front of us there.

And I see that the title is Hieroglyphs Unlocking Ancient Egypt because it was that unlocking, wasn't it, Silona?

Well, it just goes for me to say this has been great.

And thank you so much for taking the time to come on the podcast today.

Well, there you go.

There was Dr. Ilona Rogolsky talking all about the Rosetta Stone, its discovery and its role ultimately in the deciphering of hieroglyphs, the unlocking of ancient Egypt.

I hope you enjoyed the episode that was originally recorded back in 2022.

I can't believe almost four years ago I went to the British Museum to do that episode with Ilona.

It doesn't feel that long ago at all.

So we've recorded many episodes on ancient Egypt over the years, but two I'll recommend that kind of align with this one on the Rosetta Stone.

Well, they're two episodes with Dr. Chris Naunton, the first of which we actually recorded in our first ever year of the ancients.

So that is some five years ago now, six years ago.

And that was an episode all about how ancient Egypt stayed Egyptian over so many centuries, over millennia, down into Ptolemaic times too.

And that episode is called

how ancient egypt stayed egyptian he also recorded an episode later on with chris all about the tomb of alexander the great which also of course has a link a clear link to one of the objects that came to britain alongside the rosetta stone so we'll put a link to both of those episodes with chris in the show notes if you want more ancient egypt content on the ancients
