Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone. Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for “T,” whereas it actually stood for the vowel “O’.” The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just “L,” the fifth meant “M,” and the last hieroglyph stood simply for “S.” In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was “Ptolmis,” not “Ptolemaios.”
