This is the Rosetta stone. The top of the stone is written in Egyptian hieroglyphics, the middle is written in demotic, and the last part is written in Ancient Greek. All three of the languages on the stone say the same thing which enabled people to translate the Epyptian hieroglyphics. Heiroglyphics is one of the oldest forms of written rhetoric using images to tell a story. The Egyptians were the first ones to use symbols to make a written  sentence back in 3400 bc. You could say that the Egyptians were the first ones to make a written form of rhetoric. Which we now use daily as a form of communication.
