What reading level is The Rosetta Stone book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

R. A, which is obviously the Greek name Philotera. In No. 2 we only know some of the hieroglyphs, and we write the cartouche thus : [a l ^as s ( — t r — J . Now we know that ~*~« occurs in the name Berenice, and that it represents N, and that — is the last word of the transcript of the Greek title "Kaisaros, " and that it therefore represents some S sound. Some of the forms of the cartouche of Cleopatra begin with *^*, and it is clear that its phonetic value must be K. Inserting these values in... the above cartouche we have : Talks (Jntrsj which is clearly meant to represent the name '* Alexandros, " or Alexander. The position of the sign (j shows that it represented some sound of E or A.
Returning to the signs ■¥■ ^T^ ° | sob which we have assumed to represent the royal titles " ever-living, beloved of Ptah, " we have to decide whether this assumption be correct or not. It was known by tradition and from Coptic Vocabularies that the old Egyptian word for " life " or " living, " was "ankh, " or " onkh, " and that it was represented by the symbol ■¥■ which occurs several times in the inscriptions.
