Engaging read on the story of the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone. The book follows two geniuses of the 19th Century as they compete and complement the work of each other. Written in normal, storyteller style that engages the reader includes nderstandable explanations of the immense size of the problem of learning to read Egyptian hieroglyphs and of the difficulty of decoding them. Not overly technical but willing to give the reader enough information about technical aspects to give an appreciation of the enormous challenge the Rosetta Stone held for would-be translators. Fascinating book highly recommended.
