This book deals with the history of Champollion, the decipherer of
hieroglyphs, and the Rosetta Stone.
The deciphering of hieroglyphics is one of the greatest achievements of the
human race in this century. Champollion was the man who accomplished this
great feat.
The key to the Egyptian writing was discovered by means of the Rosetta Stone.
This valuable relic, a heavy block of black basalt, is now in the British
Museum. It holds an inscription, written in hieroglyphic, in demotic, and in
Greek characters. Champollion, a French scholar, by comparing the characters
composing the words Ptolemy, Alexander, and other names in the parallel
inscriptions, discovered the value of several of the symbols; and thus were
opened the vast libraries of Egyptian learning.
