-Educated at the lyceum in Grenoble
-"Father of Egyptology"
-Knew a variety of languages by his mid teens and wrote his first academic paper by 16
-Taught history at the age of 19 at Grenoble

Champollion is recognized as the "Father of Egyptology" because of his ability to decipher hieroglyphics at a very young age. He learned about the Rosetta Stone where he then mastered multiple languages ranging from Latin to Coptic by his mid teens. This is so notable because Champollion was able to distinguish the undecipherable Greek and Egyptian hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone. He was also the first philologist and was the first person to understand the picture and alphabetical meanings behind the Rosetta Stone script which was a break through for deciphering this long lost language.

With Champollion's work, we have been able to have a variety of advantages. We are now able to decode hidden messages and unravel history through their text. Also, a new language learning program, named Rosetta Stone, was made due to Champollion's success in learning multiple languages throughout his lifetime.

All in all, Champollion left a lasting impact since he was able to unveil the infamous Rosetta Stone. Today, people are able to study, understand, and replicate hieroglyphics because of his work in deciphering the lost language.

His philosophy was that mathematics would take away from his other studies, given his established passion, and so he refused his son math and science lessons and insisted his focus be the humanities. This of course peeked his curiosity and provoked a desire to understand that which his father only gave vague answers to.

1) Born on November 12th, 1651, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was ready to start learning. As a woman born in what is now mexico, she was not given much access to education, and therefore used her thirst for knowledge to teach herself. Her parents sent her to Mexico City for better opportunities, which captured the attention of viceroy, Antonio Sebastián de Toledo, marquis de Mancera. He tested her with 40 other scholars due to her gift. She became a nun in 1667  because she did not want a marriage to distract her from her studies.

At the young age of twelve, he was drawing geometric figures on the floor of his playroom and it is said that he discovered, on his own, the fact that the interior angles of a triangle add up to the sum of two right angles (Euclid's 32nd proposition of book I). According to Gilberte, it was around this time that her father walked in to find his son drawing figures on the floor. Etienne watched his son and realized the genius of the boy. The proud father presented his son with a copy of Euclid's Elements and from this time on allowed him to continue his studies in mathematics. (Bishop)" -Julia Chew, Blaise Pascal, Life.
