	Champollion (spacecraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Champollion was a planned cometary rendezvous and landing spacecraft.
		As originally envisaged, the joint NASA/CNES Champollion was to be one of two surface science packages for the Rosetta mission to comet Wirtanen, alongside the German-led RoLand.
		In this version, Champollion would be a stand-alone project consisting of an orbiter and a lander, with the focus shifted somewhat to engineering validation of new technologies rather than pure science.

	Jean-François Champollion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean-François Champollion (23 December 1790–4 March 1832) is remembered particularly for one achievement: his translation of the Rosetta stone, which became the basis of the study of Egyptian hieroglyphics.
		Champollion was subsequently made Professor of Egyptology at the Collège de France.
		However, exhausted by his labours during and after his scientific expedition to Egypt between 1828 and 1830, he died of an apoplectic attack in Paris in 1832 at the age of 41 and is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery.

	BBC - History - Jean-François Champollion (1790 - 1832)
		Champollion was left without an academic post in 1815, when the Faculty of Letters in Grenoble was closed.
		Following this success, Champollion was sent to study the Egyptian antiquities in the museums of Italy, and returned to France in 1926 as the director of the soon-to-be-opened Egyptian Museum at the Louvre.
		Champollion is celebrated as the founding father of Egyptology, and monuments in his memory were later erected in Figeac, Turin and Florence.

	Figeac's Flair for the Egyptian
		What Champollion has done most recently for Figeac under a socialist mayor is help revitalize a burg that suffered declining population and a decaying town center -- until national politics and local pride worked together to revitalize the economy and refurbish a local hero.
		Champollion has his own square, a museum in the renovated family home and a gargantuan Rosetta stone created by the American artist Joseph Kosuth that covers the floor of a medieval courtyard near the museum.
		Champollion's delight is obvious as he describes setting up camp in a Valley of the Kings burial chamber and arranging for an obelisk to be moved from Luxor, ultimately to the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

		It is extremely strange that even after Champollion had deciphered the Rosetta Stone, he was not known in the streets of Grenoble.
		Champollion knew Greek, and found that all the inscriptions were a decree from the priests from Memphis on the occasion of the coronation of Ptolemy V in 196 BC.
		Champollion's cousin gave him a copy of the Rosetta Stone after he returned from a trip to Egypt.

	GIANTS OF EGYPTOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The purpose of this 1828-1829 Franco-Tuscan Expedition to the land of the Nile was a systematic survey, the first, of the history and geography of Egypt, as revealed in the monuments and their inscriptions; and in a sense it marked the true birth of the new discipline of Egyptology.
		Champollion s first step towards his goal of rendering ancient Egyptian readable came in 1808, when he determined that fifteen signs of the demotic script corresponded with alphabetic letters in the Coptic language, and concluded that this modern tongue was the surviving last-stage of the ancient Egyptian one.
		The Rosetta Stone is inevitably linked with Champollion, and it is true (facilitated by the monument s three parallel inscriptions in hieroglyphs, demotic and Greek) that he recognized on it the name Ptolmys in Greek and demotic, and thereby he could identify the same cartouched name in hieroglyphs.

	ALL ABOUT THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS
		Champollion's dedication entailed a high personal price when he left the sanctuary of school and moved to Paris at the age of 17.
		The next year, Champollion was rescued from his life of destitute scholarship when he was appointed professor of ancient history at the Lyceum of Grenoble.
		Champollion's expertise in Egyptian studies led French King Charles X to sponsor him on a residency at the museum of Turin, Italy, where he deciphered the many Egyptian texts and carvings collected there.

		The young Champollion soon became an avid reader of the Courier de l'Egypte, a newspaper established by Napoleon to report news of the invasion back to France.
		Similarly, instead of using the word "king," the Egyptians sometimes drew a series of hieroglyphics that literally meant "He of the reed and bee," which was one of the ceremonial titles of the king.
		On his return to France, Champollion was appointed director of the Egyptian Museum of the Louvre, in Paris.

		Champollion was only one of the many European scholars intrigued by the stone, but he was to beat them all to breaking the code of the hieroglyphs.
		Champollion ascertained his hypothesis by comparing the symbols in the cartouche with those inscribed on the Luxor obelisk that had been transported to London and was known to bear the Graeco-Egyptian ruler's name.
		The thesis, dated 1815, seven years before Champollion announced his discovery at the French Academy of Sciences, argued that it was possible to juxtapose the hieroglyphic symbols with the characters of the demotic alphabet, thereby permitting the process of decoding.

		"Champollion was supposed to be principally a technology demonstration program and it had grown outside that envelope," Bergstralh said.

		Jean-François Champollion's biography is neatly interwoven with Napoleonic history and the functions of Egyptian hieroglyphs in The Keys of Egypt.
		Despite the challenges, Champollion (with a lot of help from his friends, and especially his older brother) was eventually able to get recognition for his accomplishments and support from Charles X to go to Italy to study texts and later Egypt to translate the monuments and texts there.
		Champollion also uncovered that hieroglyphs were formal writing, Hieratic was cursive handwriting, Demotic dated from 650 B.C., and Coptic began in 250 A.D. So the dating of the materials studied could be determined in part by the languages used.

		In 1821, French scholar Champollion accomplished one of the supreme triumphs of archaeology.
		First, he held that the Coptic language was the final stage in the evolution of Ancient Egyptian; second, he conjectured that hieroglyphs were both ideograms and phonetic signs; last, he believed that hieroglyphs illuminated by cartouches represented the names of pharaohs.
		Champollion, who had already done extensive study in ancient Egyptian languages first translated the Demotic and discovered that a Priestly decree about Ptolemy V had been put down in both the Egyptian language and in Greek.
