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.” But Young got three out of the seven symbols right, which was a better score than any scholar before him had achieved. —The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, James Cross Giblin Based on the passage, what is James Cross Giblin's attitude toward Thomas Young?
