Egyptian hieroglyphs were first successfully deciphered with the help of the Rosetta Stone.
The Rosetta Stone (so name because it was dicovered in Rosetta - or Rashid) had the text of a decree of the Pharaoh Ptolemy the fifth inscribed in three forms, - hiroglyphs, Egyptian demotic and Ancient Greek.
By comparing the text in a known language with the hieroglyphs, Jean Francois Champollion was able to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone (1822). His work served as the basis for the deciphering of other hieroglyphic inscriptions.
