The stone was found (find) in 1799 by French soldiers who were fighting in Egypt. After the war, it was taken (take) to England. Over the next few years, most of the words on the stone were translated(translate), but nobody could understand the picture-writing. That mystery wasn't solved(not solve) until 1822, when a French academic called Champollion translated them.
