Knowledge of Egyptian hieroglyphs, hieratic, and demotic didn't completely disappear until a few centuries into the Christian era, evidenced by priests producing new texts in these scripts. They even produced texts in Middle Egyptian—the phase of the language beginning approximately 2,000 BCE—almost to the end of the use of Egyptian hieroglyphs. This thread is about a copy of the Memphis Decree, a text written in two forms of written Egyptian (hieroglyphs, Demotic) produced about 150 years before Cleopatra.
