Champollion, Jean François, le Jeune (1790–1832)

French Egyptologist. In 1822 he deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphics with the aid of the Rosetta Stone.

He published his Précis du système hiéroglyphique/Summary of the Hieroglyphic System 1824.

In 1816 he was appointed professor of history at the Lyceum of Grenoble, but afterwards had to resign because of his sympathies with the deposed emperor Napoleon.
