Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. A few genuine advances in understanding the hieroglyphs were made during the 1700s. The French scholar C. J.
de Guignes obserhed that groups of hieroglyphs in Egyptian texts were often enclosed by an oval outline, which
he called a cartouche. "Cartouche" is a French word that originally meant a cartridge, and the line around the
hieroglyphs had a similar shape. De Guignes guessed rightly that the cartouches in hieroglyphic inscriptions
were intended to draw attention to important names, probably the names of Egyptian rulers.
