Choose the THREE facts that are true about each artwork.

Stone with hieroglyphics

eventually made its way to the British museum

token of devotion

dates back to around 2575 BC

discovered by a French soldier in 1799

contains decree from King Ptolemy V in three different languages

Answer 1

The three true facts about the artwork, known as the Rosetta Stone, are:

1. Eventually made its way to the British museum - True. The Rosetta Stone was acquired by the British Museum after the British defeated the French in Egypt.

2. Discovered by a French soldier in 1799 - True. The Rosetta Stone was discovered by a French soldier during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt in 1799.

3. Contains decree from King Ptolemy V in three different languages - True. The Rosetta Stone features the same text written in Greek, Demotic, and Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The other options:

• "Token of devotion" is not a correct fact specifically associated with the Rosetta Stone.
• "Dates back to around 2575 BC" is inaccurate; the stone itself was inscribed in 196 BC, not as early as 2575 BC.

So the correct options are:

• Eventually made its way to the British museum
• Discovered by a French soldier in 1799
• Contains decree from King Ptolemy V in three different languages
