[05:27.92]Reading the Rosetta Stone
[05:29.77]Jean Champollion (1790-1832)
[05:34.03]was very good at languages.
[05:35.99]By the time he was 16 years old,
[05:38.23]he had learned seven languages.
[05:40.69]Later,he learned five more languages.
[05:43.56]He learned Chinese,too.
[05:45.52]When he was 18,he began teaching history at university.
[05:49.49]He was younger than many of his students!
[05:52.05]Jean was very interested in ancient Egypt
[05:55.81]and in 1821 he began to study the Rosetta Stone.
[05:59.97]A group of soldiers had found this stone at Rosetta
[06:02.92]when Jean was still a young boy.
[06:05.06]It had lain under the sand
[06:06.71]for hundreds of years until they dug it up.
[06:09.27]There was a lot of strange writing on the stone.
[06:11.70]The writing was a message in three languagues.
[06:14.54]One of the languages was ancient Egyptain.
[06:17.10]However,until Jean had worked out its secret,
[06:20.89]no one could read this language.
[06:23.24]Ancient Egyptian wasn't written with letters and words like English.
[06:27.00]It was written with signs.
[06:28.86]At first,the signs were thought to represent things and ideas,
[06:32.70]but Jean believed that some of them represented sounds.
[06:36.07]By the time he had completed his study of the Rosetta Stone,
[06:39.31]he had found fifteen of these signs.
