Rosetta
Rosetta (; (アラビア語:رشيد) ' ; (フランス語:Rosette) (:ʁo.zɛt)) is a port city of the Nile Delta, located east of Alexandria, in Egypt's Beheira governorate.
Founded around in the 9th century, Rashid boomed with the decline of Alexandria following the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517, only to wane in importance after Alexandria's revival. During the 19th century, it was a popular British tourist destination, known for its charming Ottoman mansions, citrus groves and comparative cleanliness.
==Name==
Both the Arabic name ''Rašīd'' (meaning "guide") and the western name ''Rosetta'' or ''Rosette'' ("little rose" in Italian and French respectively) are corruptions (or folk etymologies) of a Coptic toponym, ''Trashit''.〔Sir Richard Francis Burton, ''A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights Entertainments'', Kamashastra Society, 1885, (p. 288 )〕 ''Rosetta'' or ''Rosette'' was the name used by the French at the time of Napoleon Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt and thus became eponymous of the Rosetta Stone ((フランス語:Pierre de Rosette)), which was found by French soldiers at the nearby Fort Julien in 1799.
