From the three great civilizations of Rome, Greece and Egypt, it is the splendor and romance Egypt that has inspired imaginations the most. Though each civilization has its own momuments, ruins, and various works of art that still exist today; the Greek and Roman cultures, customs, and thoughts have been revealed through their own writings.

Appearing on all three were Egyptian hieroglyphs and the key to deciphering them was the Rosetta stone.
