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.

Additional Info: The main 'benefit' or knowledge gained by decoding the Rosetta Stone was being able to decipher hieroglyphics. Up until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, it was assumed that hieroglyphics was a pictographic language, i.e. a picture of a bird represented the word 'bird'. However, after the discovery (and subsequent translating) of the Rosetta Stone, it was determined that hieroglyphics was a phonetic alphabet, where a picture of a bird might stand for the character "B" (that's not accurate, I'm just making an example). If you have ever used Wingdings in word before, you get the idea of what hieroglyphics are: a pictographic symbol that represents a single character.
