Jean François Champollion
His name was Jean-François Champollion
Jean-François Champollion did this.
As stone was written in old Hieroglyphics and new hieroglyphics no one knew what it said. Until they saw at the bottom of it, it was written in Greek as well, so then a French codebreaker who knew Greek cracked the meanings in hieroglyphics. And read the stone and found out what it meant.
It had the same writing in 3 different languages and one was Greek and so the translated the Greek words to the hieroglyphic pictures and cracked the code. wich now makes us understand heiroglyphics today :)
The German Enigma Code, which they thought was uncrackable, was deciphered by British cryptologists at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire near the modern town of Milton Keynes.
