The Hieroglyphs and the mystery of Jean-François Champollion
When Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1812) started his campaign in Egypt in 1798, the campaign caused the Rosetta Stone brought to France with Napoleon when he returned from Egypt after his unsuccessful campaign. And later that stone started to interest by the man named Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832). Rosetta Stone was the stone, that Champollion used to break the code of the hieroglyphs.
He began his work with hieroglyphs about in the year 1822 and finished his work shortly before his death. But the question is, did he also work as the codebreaker for somebody? And did this work cause the death of Champollion? So mainly Champollion made his work after Napoleon was fallen. If somebody ordered the work of hieroglyphs from Champollion there is a possibility that this "man" ordered to bring the Rosetta Stone to Paris, and then wait until Napoleon was fallen.
But this is a pure hypothesis. Then that person would the job to Champollion to open the code of hieroglyphs. There is a possibility that those hypothetical persons look for gold of pharaohs or King Solomon Mining. But the thing is that the curse of Pharaohs might interest those people too.
The Rosetta Stone is one kind of dictionary book, where are Greek, arrow-head, and hieroglyphic writing. Champollion decides that the texts in that stone had the same message, which helped him to open the code of hieroglyphs. So there are sometimes misunderstandings that Champollion involved the campaign of Egypt, but he was eight years old when Napoleon started the action.
That man was one of the most brilliant language scientists in history. He became well-known because he solved the mystery of hieroglyphs. And the thing that made this man also interesting is he died because of a heart attack at the age of 41, just when he finished his main work, the grammar of Ancient Egypt that was published posthumously.

That kind of thing is of course causing theories about the reasons for death. Was Champollion murdered by giving the injection of potassium chlorate or some other chemical, what causes a heart attack? Or was the death just before publishing the Grammarly of hieroglyphs only the coincidence?
If Champollion murdered by somebody, the question is does this thing something to connect with Ancient Egypt or some other work, what Champollion possibly made as a cryptologist for somebody? Or did he translated some confidential papers, what caused his death? But wait a moment, the Waterloo fight happened in the year 1815 and that means that Champollion was 25 at that time. So this theory is almost crushed. He couldn't work under the personal command of Napoleon.
So one of the wildest claims about the three-year campaign that Napoleon made to Egypt in 1798-1801 was that the reason for that campaign was that Napoleon wanted the power of Pharaoh. So the theory about the strange death of Champollion goes like this. Some occultists or some other people gave the mission for breaking the code of the Hieroglyphs to Champollion, and when he accomplished the mission they gave him the lethal injection.
Were those people some secret agents, who were working for Napoleon or his successor? And were those people the same, who introduced the campaign to Egypt to Napoleon? Who they remained unknown. But there is a possibility that Champollion faced natural death because of the bad diet and loss of the sports.
But if Champollion was murdered, the reason for that could be that he knew too much about the things, what Napoleon didn't want other people to know. One thing that is remarkable in the personality of Jean-François Champollion is that he spoke so many languages. The thing is that this kind of language skills are remarkable. And that thing causes some kind of theories, that Champollion was some kind of autist.
"He started out learning Latin and Greek but quickly progressed to Hebrew and other Semitic languages such as Ethiopic, Arabic, Syriac, and Chaldean". (Wikipedia, Champollion).
So the question is "Is Jean-François Champollion one single person". And when we are looking at the grammatic of the hieroglyphs, we must ask who checks those things. Of course, Champollion was a doctor at the age of 19, which is quite a young age.
Is there a possibility that some person has got the linguistic savant syndrome, where the very thin special skill that is connected to that kind of syndrome is in the linguistic area. That kind of thing allows a person to learn many languages. But is that kind of savant possible? Or does some single person have the capacity to learn so many languages? The question would cause the induction question, was there somebody else, who worked with Jean-François Champollion?
