Reading The Rosetta Stone!

Young was hooked on the scripts and languages of  ancient Egypt. In 1814 he started to decipher the Rosetta Stone and he continued to study with great intensity for the rest of his life. Even tho Champollion will be the one to take the glory of it all, Thomas did make a great attempt in which he is honored for doing. In 1823, he explained his love for studying the Rosetta stone as " an attempt to unveil the mystery in which Eygptian literature has been involved for nearly twenety centeries".
