Voice 1: Two thousand years ago rulers of Egypt used these three separate ways of writing to communicate commands to their people. The Rosetta stone shows examples of each of these ancient ways of writing. The bottom part of the stone shows the Pharaoh's message in the ancient Greek language. At that time, the rulers of Egypt communicated using Greek. The middle part shows the message in Demotic, the common written language of Egypt. And the top part shows the message in hieroglyphic. Demotic and hieroglyphic were different ways of writing the same spoken language. Hieroglyphic was the language the people used to write important or religious documents.
