Encyclopedia Britannica - Rosetta Stone

In the Encyclopedia Britannica entry for the Rosetta Stone, focus is given to the Rosetta Stone's decipherment, with a brief physical description, describing where it was found and by whom, and a brief summarization of the contents of the Rosetta Stone.

The site does a good job of giving credit to both Thomas Young and Jean Champollion, and describes in detail their discoveries of what Hieroglyphs were, what they meant, and how they were to be read.

For example, Thomas Young determined through studying the direction that the hieroglyphs faced that they are commonly written and read right to left, and Jean Champollion discovered that the Egyptian hieroglyphs were a translation from the Greek text, not the other way around.
