The code of hieroglyphics was deciphered by Jean-François Champollion in the early 19th century. He accomplished this by studying the Rosetta Stone, which contained the same text in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphics. By comparing the known Greek text with the hieroglyphics, he identified phonetic values of the symbols and established a key to understanding the ancient Egyptian writing system. Champollion's work laid the foundation for modern Egyptology.
