Answer 1

Answer:

I believe your statement is all right. However, I think you should add information about Jean François Champollion, the egyptologist who really deciphered the Rosetta Stone.

Explanation:

After the election of Napoleon as Directory in 1798, he begins the process of French recognition as a Great Nation, as he previously proclaimed. His first major achievement was the Expedition to Egypt, which he returned victoriously and bringing many results for science. One of the discoveries was the Rosetta Stone. Dated from the 4th century B.C., this megalith was part of the Hellenistic period of Egyptian History, which represents the decay of Egypt under Roman rule. The stone had three inscriptions: Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyph. Jean François Champollion, linguist, and Egyptologist, deciphered the stone analyzing the Greek inscriptions. Champollion has developed rules for the interpretation of hieroglyphics.
