The Rosetta Stone

 
Richard Parkinson 
People were exploring all sorts of means of trying to 
decipher,
including trying 
to link the script with Chinese to see if that offered a parallel. It was known from 
the classical authors that the Egyptian script contained great, mysterious 
pearls 
of wisdom
from the Egyptian philosophers and people had hugely 
high 
expectations
and all attempts to decipher, to 
get a grip on
the script, I think, had 
really failed.
Rob 
Before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, no-one had managed to 
decipher 
hieroglyphs – to work out the meaning of writing which is difficult to read. 
Sam 
Experts hoped that the Egyptian script contained great 
pearls of wisdom - 
wise 
words, sayings or advice. 
Rob 
As we know, the actual meaning of the text turned out to be quite dull. But it was 
the fact that the messages were written in three scripts, including Greek - a 
language scholars already knew - that provided the key to finally crack the code. 
Sam
In 1801 the race was on between Egyptologists in Britain and France to be the 
first to translate the entire system of hieroglyphs. 
Rob
In the end, it was a young Frenchman named Jean-François Champollion who 
became the first person to understand hieroglyphs since the ancient Egyptians 
themselves, nearly two thousand years earlier.
