There Champollion was introduced to the famous mathematician Jean-Baptiste Fourier. Fourier had accompanied Napoleon to Egypt, and he showed Champollion his collection of Egyptian antiquities, including a copy of the Rosetta Stone.
The ancient hieroglyphs fascinated the boy. He asked Fourier, “Can anyone read them?” The mathematician shook his head, and Champollion said, “I am going to do it. In a few years – when I am big.”
