What Were Their Names??

           There were two people mainly responsible for the decipherment of the Rosetta Stone. One person was Thomas Young. Thomas Young was actually responsible for the initial part of the decipherment. He was the one who figured out that it was written in 3 scripts and figured out the Demotic and Greek. But the final breakthrough is credited to Jean-Francois Champollion. He was the one who decided to use Coptic and figure out the language of the Ancient Egyptians  To this day, those two people are the ones given the most credit for the decipherment. Today the Rosetta Stone sits peacefully in the Museum of Britain where it has sat for over one hundred years.
