Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:
<em>"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."</em>
<em>"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."</em>

Thus, the phrase that supports the view that the people who deciphered the hieroglyphs played an important role was "finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past".
