Numerous Wikalahs and dealer houses were built
Rosetta is considered as a substantial outside historical center for Islamic design. The colossal number of Islamic landmarks found here does not exist in some other city, with the exception of Cairo. Tragically a large portion of these novel landmarks are dismissed, present day structures encompass them, and the spontaneous urbanization additionally influences them severely, creating much harm. Consequently it is important for an extraordinary national push to be made to spare them, with a specific end goal to restore the verifiable character of the city
Today Rosetta's overall popularity is a result of the finding of the "Rosetta Stone" amid the French control of Egypt. In 1799, while expanding a post close Rosetta, a youthful French officer named Pierre-Francois Bouchard found a piece of dark basalt stone. It quantified 3ft 9in long, 2ft 4.5 in wide, and 11in thick, and it contained three unmistakable groups of composing. The most inadequate was the top band containing hieroglyphics; the center band was in an Egyptian script called Demotic and the last one was in Ancient Greek.

Researchers started to concentrate on the Demotic script in the center band, since it was more finished, and it looked more like letters than the hieroglyphic pictures in the upper band. It was basically a shorthand form of hieroglyphics that had developed from a before shorthand adaptation of Egyptian called hieratic script. Thomas Young (1773-1829), an English physicist, was the first to demonstrate that a portion of the symbolic representations in the top band were the hints of an imperial name - Ptolemy. At that point the French researcher Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832) understood that the pictographs were really the sound of the Egyptian dialect and in this manner established the frameworks of our present day information of the Ancient Egyptian dialect and society
