The Bulletin  

Beginning "Freedom Is Rainbow”  

Wednesday, June 19, 1957  

Price 1/-  

THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER  

Registered in Australia for transmission by post as newspaper.  

OVER million people each year visit the British Museum in  

London—one of the world's great treasure houses, and one  

which is unrivalled for the richness and variety of its contents.  

This vast collection began wilh public lottery in the 18th  

century which provided funds for the purchase of manuscripts  

collected by Sir Mans Sloane and Robert Harley. Subsequent  

additions included the famous Elgin Maibles and the Egyptian  

antiquities which arc housed in several great galleries. In one of  

these, on the ground floor, and illustrated here, is the granite hear!,  

nine feet high, and an arm of colossal statue of Thof limes 111, who  

reigned in Egypt about the year 1550 b.c.  

In the Egyptian galleries are displayed more than thousand  

pieces of sculpture which represent the work of artists over period  

*of 4,000 years. Pharaohs, priests, chancellors, scribes, librarians,  

overseers and all the life of ancient Egypt are represented here in  

one; form or another.  

One of the most important exhibits is the famous Rosetta Stone,  

hearing inscriptions' that became the key to the meaning of lost  

language and unlocked the history of ancient Egypt which previously  

had been closed book. The stone is large slab of black basalt  

and it was discovered by chance stroke with pick by one of  

Napoleon’s soldiers in 1798. He was demolishing wall of fort  

in the small village of Rosetta at the mouth of the Nile when his  

pick dislodged the stone which he noticed bore inscriptions of three  

different kinds. When deciphered it was discovered that the writing  

was decree in Greek, Demotic and Hieroglyphs, issued in  

197-19(1 8.c., during the reign of Ptolemy V. The first man to  

•grasp the meaning of hieroglyphics was Dr. Thomas Youtm, of  

Somerset, who guessed that, like shorthand, the characters "were  

based on the phonetic principle, and his readings from the Rosetta  

Stone proved to be remarkably correct.  

No. 354: the Homeland Series hy the House of Seppelt.
