The Scholar That Deciphered The Rosetta Stone | Champollion

This is fake, the first person to decipher Hieroglyphic symbols was an arab scholar named ibn wahshiyya, like 1000 years before Champollion. Here is the evidence : www.ihistory.co/ibn-wahshiyya-hieroglyphs/

Really loved this one. He usually gets a mention but you never get to learn anything about him. It was fascinating to finally learn what an amazing man he was.

[@Mattostar-z2d]

What a brilliant man! To decipher the Rosetta stone? I have a hard time understanding modern languages, let alone ancient ones lost to the ages!😲 Forgotten Lives you always put through such amazing videos that make you sit up and want to listen. Thank you for your excellent work.😊

[@coldbizzness5576]

Yea he was a thief racist and liar very interesting

[@molly-b2]

Another great video! Seems kind of sad that the stone should be in the British Museum now though. It's just my opinion..... but always feel that such precious items should be displayed in their country of origin. Very smooth presentation on your part.

[@KraftyKreator]

I generally agree but I visited museums in Egypt around 2003ish. One had a leak in the roof and rain or something was leaking on an exhibit freely. In other words they still don't have the finances to preserve these special ancient artifacts well enough, it seems, unless things have changed drastically.

[@tinakaster3371]

Loving all your stories so far... Great narrating..

[@Denaliwind]

Very nicely done!!!! I have always been interested in the Rosetta Stone but always busy with other subjects and too lazy to do the research..... Thank You!!!

[@nassernadim9948]

Nice preface to a tremendous information world had gotten about Egyptian ancient cultures , after Jean-Francoise Champollion had decifered the ancient Egyptian language. His early death at 41 yrs old after recurrent episodes of syncope was the subject of rare researches. I suggest audience to read about "What Caused Jeanne-Francoise Champollion, Decipherer of the Ancient Egyptian Scripts, Premature Death?" Authors: Nasser H Nadim and David Savitsky

Is it not possible for most people that decipher, to accidentally establish their own meaning onto these languages? Possibly getting it all wrong? Just a question. Because I generally wonder.

Cool ok 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PeterRevesz]

A beautifully told story. Many things to learn here, not the least that Champollion let Young, his rival, get full access to the Demotic manuscripts in the Louvre. The decipherment of every ancient script is a little different. The decipherment of the Minoan Linear A script is described here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpqvqoFviZemqrs

[@Afaq-vw6hm]

Well its good thst you gave credit for zyoung's work even though Champollion did not. Certainly he was brilliant, too bad he died so young

[@MH-nc5jd]

So Cleopatra was written in hieroglyphs on the Rosetta stone?.. hmm, that makes my theory that the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta stone were separated from the building of the great pyramids by a couple thousand years.. and therefore they most likey are completely wrong in translating ancient hieroglyphs written inside buildings and temples.. give a language 2000 years and the translations, especially when dealing with glyphs in general, would completely change.. just helps prove that most of the understanding ancient Egypt is just a whole lot of guess work with very minor concrete understanding.. also he was working on the translation for around 20 years and was eventually forced to release it even though he thought the translation was incomplete and somewhat incorrect..

[@abotariq257]

Ibn wahshiyya deciphered heiroglyphs 1000 years earlier

[@oif3gunner]

So

[@PeterMilanovski]

It has since been learnt that the middle text is not Egyptian Demotic but instead found to be ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit text! The decipher can be seen in the scientific paper called Tracing The Script And The Language Of The Ancient Macedonians PDF which is available for free download, The middle text is actually in the language of Ptolemy Kleopatra and Alexander the Great, the greek text which was included is there for the greeks who were foot soldiers in Alexander's Macedonian army. The ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit text contains vowels and consonants which was difficult to decipher for many linguists who tried to work it out and failed so it was believed that it's probably Egyptian Demotic and left as that. The problem is that no one ever seems to mention that the middle text wasn't deciphered but states it like it's well understood, even though it wasn't, but that's all changed now! It has been deciphered and now known that it's the official language of the Macedonians, Alexander the Great was Macedonian anyway and the middle text now makes sense for why it's there. The paper is a very fascinating read, it shows how advanced the Macedonian linguistic skills were in 196Bc... We use the same vowels and consonants today! Something that the greeks were lacking back then! When you think about it, without advanced linguistic ability, Alexander the Great wouldn't have been able to have the support of a nation to conquer and command!

[@PeterMilanovski]

@@alexsg870 this is the old understanding.... It's not demotic, it's Sanskrit.... The museum is a bit slow to update their records.

Yeah but Napoleon never existed. But maybe neither do we.
