How the Rosetta Stone led to the deciphering of hieroglyphs. Very interesting and well-written, with interesting diversions into alphabets and linguistics. The two towering characters Young and Champollion were so different and intriguing. An amazing puzzle solved by brilliance, persistence, and a little luck.
