Decipherment of ancient Egyptian scripts

Champollion in 1823
Champollion in 1823
  • ... that after making a breakthrough in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Jean-François Champollion (pictured) cried "I've done it!" and collapsed in a faint that lasted days? Source: "…Jean-François ran from his house in the Rue Mazarine to the nearby Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres, flung a bundle of drawings down onto a desk in Jacques-Joseph's office, and cried: 'Je tiens mon affaire!' ('I've done it!')—his own version of Archimedes' cry 'Eureka!' But before he could explain what he had done, he collapsed on the floor in a dead faint. For an instant, his brother feared that he was dead. Taken home to rest, Champollion apparently did not revive until evening-time five days later…" (Cracking the Egyptian Code [2012] by Andrew Robinson, p. 142)

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article has been 5x expanded recently enough, no copyvio, the source supports the content of the hook, and the source is cited in the article after the relevant passage. Article looks really well-done and interesting. Sure you don't want to add a picture? Enwebb (talk) 15:36, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping I usually don't, given that there can only be one picture for every eight hooks, but File:Portrait de Champollion Le Jeune par Madame de Rumilly cropped.jpg would work. Should I change the blurb to add it and the word (pictured)? A. Parrot (talk) 00:24, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
I know there's no guarantee of having the picture included with the hook on the main page, but I think it could be nice to add the portrait just in case. Enwebb (talk) 22:19, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
