Hieroglyphic Name:
Ptolemy V concerned the throne at the age of five, as the issue of a dynastic fascinate. During his reign the serious native revolts that had broke at Thebes in the time of his precursors, and resulted in the organization of a line of native pharaohs seeing the Theban area, continued. These were broken in 186 BC and Ptolemy V found control of the south, but similar uprisings occurred later in the next century, in 88-86 BC.
In foreign affairs, Egypt gone most of her ownerships in Asia Minor, Palestine and the Aegean, and managed to retain only Cyprus and Cyrene. Ptolemy V took a foreign wife the daughter of the Seleucid king Antiochus III and she became Queen Cleopatra I.
Building projects at home admitted a chapel for the deified Imhotep on the sacred island of Philae. A Decree (issued on March 27, 196 BC) commemorates the religious ceremonies that occurred at the kings investiture at Memphis, but this has become noted not so much for its substance as for the share that it made to the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Famous today as the Rosetta Stone (since it was described at Rosetta in 1798), the Decree was written in hieroglyphs, Demotic and Greek; this triple version enabled scholars, who loved Greek, to begin deciphering the related Egyptian scripts.
