Based on The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, what is one way in which Jean-François Champollion and Thomas Young are alike?

Both eventually came to believe that the Rosetta Stone hieroglyphs represented sounds rather than things.

Explanation:

"The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone" is an insightful book on the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. James Cross Giblin's book deals with the ancient stone, the Rosetta stone, which was discovered in 1799 with the decree of king Ptolemy V Epiphanes written in three scripts. The first two were written in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and demotic scripts while the final third was written in Ancient Greek. This stone had been a source of studying hieroglyphics by historians and scholars. In the book, Giblin notes that both Jean-Francois Champollion and Thomas Young are alike. They both eventually came to believe that the Rosetta Stone hieroglyphs represented sounds rather than things. Young began working on the stone, which Champollion expanded.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
