They were accompanied by the figure of a bird, an ibis. Champollion knew from reading ancient Greek books that the ibis was the symbol of Thoth, the Egyptian god of learning and magic.

C.Based on the excerpt, what detail did Champollion use to conclude that the hieroglyphics represent the pharaoh Thothmes?
