"The Graffito of Esmet-Akhom ... is the last known ancient Egyptian inscription written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, carved on 24 August 394 AD. ... Relatively soon after Nesmeterakhem made his inscription, there was likely no one alive who could read its hieroglyphs.[2][9] Knowledge of both hieroglyphs and demotic script had gradually disappeared from Egypt during the decades of Christianization"
