<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 7909423, member: 87200"]Yep. He was able to crack the code by comparing hieroglyphs to the Greek words. However, later researchers were able to translate many more of the hieroglyphs and expand the lexicon. Faulkner published a "Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian" at Oxford. Also, the phonetic elements were re-introduced through the study of Coptic in part, although Champollion was able to identify the word "Ptolemaios" because it was placed within a cartouche, and also able to match the hieroglyphs with the pronunciation to determine how some of the symbols were actually pronounced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
