"For many years Champollion's progress was blocked because, like de Sacy and earlier scholars, he believed the
hieroglyphs represented things, not sounds. Then, in 1822, he reversed his position. Some of Champollion's rivals
suggested that he had gotten the idea from Thomas Young's Encyclopedia Britannica article. There the English
scholar explained how the hieroglyphs in Ptolemy's name stood for sounds. Champollion hotly denied these
suggestions, claiming that he had arrived at his new position entirely on his own."
