The ancient Egyptians used a form of picture writing known as hieroglyphics.
Jean-François Champollion was a French Egyptologist who, in 1922, "translated" the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone is a rock on which the same ancient edict was carved in three different languages, including ancient Greek and Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Champillion was able to use the Greek to show how to "decode" the hieroglyphs and, from that, formed the basic understanding of ancient Egyptian writing. His work is still used today by Egyptologists.
