In the early 19th century the hieroglyphic, Greek and demotic Egyptian texts of the Rosetta Stone became a challenge for two men: the English doctor and academic Thomas Young and a young French republican, Jean-François Champollion. Both focused on deciphering the hieroglyphic puzzle, but from within very different intellectual spheres: this study traces their different lives and motivations and the paths they followed to their conclusions.
