Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Rosetta Stone was key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs?

Yes. Multiple reference works state directly that the Rosetta Stone provided the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, including Wikipedia, a linguistics textbook, and a Zenodo terminology paper. A few other sources describe the stone's role in the decipherment more loosely without asserting it was the key.
