ON THIS DAY- On this day in 1822: Jean-François Champollion announced he deciphered the Rosetta stone. “What was so helpful, from a translator’s perspective, about the Rosetta stone was the fact that the decree was written on the stele three times: in hieroglyphics (the formal communication medium of the priests), Egyptian demotic script (the everyday notation used by most of those who could read and write), and Greek (used by the administrative apparatus of Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty),” according to Wired. The Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, were founded on this day in 1540. More recently, in 1970, King Hussein of Jordan and the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, Yasser Arafat, agreed to a ceasefire after 10 days of fighting in Jordan. In 1996, the Taliban took over Kabul. Enterprise readers this time last year were reading about German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s call for a Turkey-style agreement with Egypt and Tunisia, Russia lifting the ban on agricultural imports from Egypt, and the first whispers on the potential IPO of Enppi.
