Week #3 Daily #1

Question: What is the oldest human-created artifact that has mattered to you? Why/how does it matter?


Answer: I think that the most important artifact created and discovered by humans is the Rosetta Stone because it is was the stone that had made people learn and understand hieroglyphics.  The stone was written half in Greek and half in hieroglyphics.  British and French men had tries to decode the mysterious symbols and were successful.  The stone was a huge artifact from the past that had given the world a glimpse of ancient Egypt.  The stone had talked about the rulers of Egypt.  The Rosetta Stone was a big puzzle and many brilliant minds had cracked the code.  This artifact had made a mark on "modern" history.  The stone isn't a major discovery today  but it is still a very valuable artifact to be kept safe.  The Rosetta Stone was a mark of discovery for the world.  This artifact matters so much  because it made ancient Egypt one of the most interesting and mysterious places in the world.
