The sentence from this excerpt that contains evidence that supports the claim is "A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt."
Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) was a Catholic Priest from the Jesuit congregation that dedicated part of his life to study and understand the Rosetta Stone although later scientists and archeologists found that his work had many mistakes. What Kircher really did was to connect the ancient Egyptian scriptures and the Coptic language, which was the Christian religion in Egypt.
