Jean François Champollion was the man who accomplished this great feat. He is surnamed \"le jeune,\" the younger, to distinguish him from his elder brother, Champollion Figeac, whose life was one of paternal devotion and the most unselfish sacrifice for his younger brother. Both were born in Figeac, in the south of France, François on December 23, 1790.  \nFrançois made his home, however, in the beautiful little town of Grenoble, situated on the hills near the valley of the Isère. It was to this place that Champollion Figeac, who was here engaged as director of the town library, and later on as professor  \nof Greek at the university, drew his twelve years younger brother François. François, at the age of nine, went to live with his elder brother, filled with the proudest hopes for the future, and grateful for the care and devotion bestowed upon him.  \n1.

The newly opened world of ancient monuments on the banks of the Nile River excited the greatest interest in everybody. But for few did it have as strong an attraction as for Champollion Figeac, who had occupied himself long previously with the study of the history and language of the ancient Egyptians.  \nFurthermore, he and his brother François came, so to say, into indirect contact with the great expedition. For the famous mathematician Fourier, who had gone out with it, became afterward prefect of Grenoble, and oneof Figeac's warmest and most intimate friends.  \n8. What resident of Figeac put the Champollion brothers into indirect contact with the Napoleonic expedition in Egypt?  \n____________________________________  \n____________________________________  \nFrançois, at the age of twelve, was already fully master of the classic languages. Surrounded by the rich collection of books placed in his brother's care, he had drifted into a territory which is not embraced in the  \nusual high school curriculum, viz., the Asian languages.  \nWhile still at school, and during his leisure hours, François mastered with wonderful energy, aided as it was by an almost phenomenal power for acquiring knowledge, the Hebrew and most other Semitic languages, as well as Sanskrit and Persian.  \nAs, however, Egypt had the greatest attraction for him, he also studied the Coptic dialect, the language of the Egyptians during the early centuries after Christ, which was written in Greek letters with some few others added.  \n9. List three languages that Jean François Champollion learned as a boy.  \n____________________________________  \n____________________________________  \nWithal, the remarkable youth was cheerful and companionable, finding time even to practice his poetic gifts.
