the discovery of the Rosetta Stone by soldiers

Explanation

The Greek inscription could be read, and its last sentence indicated that the decree was written in three forms of writing. That clue led scholars to believe the hieroglyphic and other inscriptions repeated the same message in different languages or scripts. The correct choice is the translation of the last sentence of the Greek text.
