Champollion helped to provide the world with that knowledge, which scholars today are still adding to.
C
Working steadily, Champollion in the next month deciphered more than eighty cartouches. He succeeded in reading the names of all the Greek and Roman leaders who had ruled Egypt since the time of Alexander.
D
It took more than a hundred years, and the efforts of many scholars, to translate all three passages of writing on the Rosetta Stone.
