Dans le Secret des Hiéroglyphes: Les Frères Champollion plot

200 years ago, Jean-François Champollion first deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs, solving one of the oldest human riddles. What is barely known is that behind this genius lived a man in the shadows, Jacques-Joseph, brother of the Champollion family. A recent study of the family archives sheds new light on the magic of deciphering. Thanks to recent discoveries and the correspondence between Jean-François Champollion and his brother, the story of the discovery is being rewritten.
