The three facts that are true about the Stone with hieroglyphics (commonly known as the Rosetta Stone) are:
1. **Contains decree from King Ptolemy V in three different languages** - The Rosetta Stone features the same text in Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics.
2. **Eventually made its way to the British Museum** - The Rosetta Stone was acquired by the British Museum after the British took control of Egypt following the Napoleonic Wars.
3. **Discovered by a French soldier in 1799** - The stone was discovered by a French engineer named Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt.
The other statements are not true:
- It is not a "token of devotion," and
- It does not date back to around 2575 BC; rather, it was inscribed in 196 BC.
