235 years ago today, on December 23, 1790 (November 18, 1790 lunar calendar), the first master to decipher the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and decipher the Rosetta Stone was born. Jean-François Champollion (December 23, 1790 - March 4, 1832) was born in Figeac, Quercy region, during the French Revolution. He was a famous French historian, linguist, Egyptologist, and the first scholar to decipher the structure of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and decipher the Rosetta Stone, thus becoming the founder of Egyptology. Born in the province of Lot in southern France, Chamberlain had shown an excellent talent for languages in his youth. By the age of 20, he had mastered Latin, Greek, and many ancient Eastern languages besides French, including Hebrew, Ethiopian Amharic, ancient Indo-Sanskrit, ancient Iranian Awitan and Paravi, Arabic, ancient Syriac, the Chaldean languages popular in ancient Asia Minor, Persian, and Chinese. In 1809, at the age of 19, Chamberlain became a professor of history at Grenoble College. Chamberlain was deeply interested in Eastern languages, especially Coptic in ancient Egypt, and began to study the Rosetta Stone systematically. On July 15, 1799, Pierre-François Zavier Bouchard, a captain in Napoleon's invading army, discovered the stone tablet near the Egyptian port city of Rosetta. The stone tablet was engraved during the Ptolemaic era in 196 BC, and it was carved with Greek letters, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and ancient Egyptian popular characters. The stone tablet was shipped to Alexandria, Egypt, and French scientists began to study it. In 1801, after France was defeated and surrendered, the British army threatened to confiscate all the research results. French scientists threatened to burn them all. Finally, a compromise was reached, allowing French scientists to keep the research results and stone rubbings. However, the stone tablet was shipped by the British army to the British Museum for collection, and the Egyptian government is currently demanding that the British return the stone tablet. From 1822 to 1824, Chamberlain devoted himself entirely to the study of the Rosetta Stone. He published several research papers and successfully deciphered the structure of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Some of these symbols were letters, some were syllables, some were syllables, and some were syllables. A symbol represented a whole thing. Finally, in 1822, he completed the full translation of the Rosetta Stele inscription. He compiled a complete comparison table of Egyptian symbols and Greek letters, which provided a very useful tool for later interpretation of the large number of papyrus documents left over from ancient Egypt. He also discovered the importance of a papyrus book containing a list of all Egyptian pharaohs since the Second King of Latin America. On December 23, 1790, in the midst of the chaos and scarcity of supplies during the French Revolution, Jean-François Champollion was born in Figeac, in the Quercy region. He began translating ancient texts at the age of 5. He learned to recognize ancient texts by memorizing a batch of ancient scripts and then comparing them with the original texts. In 1797, when he was a precocious teenager at the age of seven, he was deeply fascinated by ancient Egyptian culture. In 1798, young François was reading exciting news in the newspapers in his father's bookstore when troops led by General Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt. Young Jean-François. Chamberlain became a voracious reader of the Egyptian Courier, a newspaper founded by Napoleon to inform the French public of the war ahead. In 1801, at the age of 11, Jean-Franc ̧ ois Chamberlain entered the Grenoble School, studying Greek, Latin, Arabic, Syriac, Persian, Sanskrit, Chinese and Hebrew. At the age of 12, he completed his first book, The History of Famous Dogs. In the summer of 1807, Jean-Franc ̧ ois Chamberlain was 17 years old, and the first chronology of the pharaonic dynasty of Long Menhai. On September 1, 1807, Jean-Franc ̧ ois Chamberlain read the introduction to the book "Egypt under the Pharaoh" to the audience of all the teachers of the Grannobel Public School. In 1809, at the age of 19, Jean-François Chamberlain became a professor of history at Le Noble College. In 1814, at the age of 24, Jean-François Chamberlain published some research results, especially "Egypt under the Pharaoh" published in two volumes, which brought him the necessary copyright income. It took another seven years of research before he made his full interpretation of hieroglyphics public. From 1822 to 1824, he devoted himself entirely to the development of the Rosetta Stone. Thanks to several research papers, he succeeded in deciphering the structure of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Some of these are letters, some are syllables, and some are syllables. A symbol represents a whole thing. Jean-Franc ̧ ois Chamberlain used ancient Greek as the key to the interpretation of the other two scripts. Using Greek proper nouns as clues, he found the corresponding words in the ancient Egyptian version. This discovery allowed him to understand the pronunciation of many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. He used his knowledge of Coptic to associate other hieroglyphs with corresponding sounds. Finally, he succeeded in deciphering the hieroglyphs on the inscription. In 1821, he published his own interpretation. In 1822, he completed the full translation of the Rosette tablet. He compiled a comparison table of Egyptian symbols and Greek letters, which provided a useful tool for later interpretation of ancient Egyptian papyrus. He also found a papyrus containing a list of all Egyptian pharaohs. He presented his work to the French Academy of Sciences as a "system for the interpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics." At first, his views were questioned by other scholars, but as more and more hieroglyphics were translated according to his method, it was acknowledged that he broke the silence of hieroglyphics for 1,800 years. This year marked the official birth of "Egyptology". Jean-Franc ̧ ois Champollion's profound knowledge of Egyptian studies led King Charles X of France to pay for his residence in the Turin Museum in Italy, where he could decipher more Egyptian texts. In 1826 he served as curator of Egyptian antiquities at the Louvre. From 1828 to 1829, Jean-Franc ̧ ois. Chamberlain led a joint Franco-Italian expedition to Egypt, where he caused a great sensation and was treated like a star. He often stood in front of ancient sites and read the inscriptions aloud to people. He copied and collected a large number of pictographic inscriptions and documents on the spot. In 1828, he led an archaeological team to Egypt. In 1828, the Egyptologist Jean-François Chamberlain visited Kanak. His transcriptions of documents on the walls and columns of the Temple of Ammon finally revealed the secrets of the ruins. After being forgotten for 20 centuries, the Kanak site was finally lifted and restored to its original appearance. In 1831, he served as a chair professor of Egyptology at the French Academy. In 1831, the French Academy presented to Jean-François. Chamberlain paid tribute and appointed him to a special position - President of Egyptology. In 1832, Jean-François Chamberlain died of a stroke at the age of 41. He was later known as "the father of Egyptology".
