Hieroglyphs are a language that used images to represent objects, sounds, and groups of sounds. It was very difficult to read Egyptian hieroglyphs, essential to understanding Egyptian society. The Greek language inscribed on the stone was used to decipher other languages. Deciphering languages ​​has helped historians better understand Egyptian hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphics were difficult to understand until the Rosetta Stone was studied. After examining the Rosetta Stone, it was easier to learn about Egyptian language and culture. Thomas Young made the first progress in deciphering the Rosetta Stone. The person who finally cracked the code to the Rosetta Stone was Jean-François Champollion. Jean-François Champollion used his knowledge of the Greek language found on the Rosetta Stone. One of the things that helped decipher the Rosetta Stone is the code-breaking technology developed over the years. Without the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian culture could not have been studied so thoroughly or so quickly. Egyptian culture has many years of recorded history that we have been able to study through the discovery and decipherment of Rosetta.
