The Final Jeopardy question for August 21, 2024 is in the category of \u201cFrom The Ancient World\u201d and has the following clue:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCaptured in Egypt by the British Army 1801\u201d is painted on the side of this artifact named for the city where it was found<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
As normal, we won\u2019t reveal the answer here in case you want to figure it out. It has been placed instead at the end of this article.<\/p>\n
Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for August 21<\/h2>\n
Matt became the winner for the August 21, 2024 match, with him earning enough money in Double Jeopardy to make Final Jeopardy moot. He was one of two contestants to get the answer correct, though the wagers were particularly low given his runaway win.<\/p>\n
Matt began with $41,200 heading into Final Jeopardy and only wagered $121, ending up with $41,321 and becoming a semi-finalist. Alan had $14,000 and decide to wager just $1, finishing with $14,001 in second place.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Terry only had $5,800 and got a part of the answer right, but the judges deemed his answer incomplete. This meant that his wager of $5,800 ended with him having $0 in third place.<\/p>\n
Final Jeopardy Answer for August 21<\/h2>\n
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on August 21, 2024 is \u201cWhat is Rosetta Stone?\u201d<\/p>\n
A slab of granodiorite, the Rosetta Stone has three inscriptions of a decree by King Ptolemy V Epiphanes in 196 BC. Since the inscriptions were in Demotic, Ancient Egyptian, and Ancient Greek, this artifact was used as a way for historians to decipher and translate texts between the three languages. The French first discovered the tablet in Egypt in 1799 before the British took the stone under the terms of the Capitulation of Alexandria in 1801. This is the reason behind the inscription in the clue about it being captured by the British Army. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
