He recognized immediately that the last two hieroglyphs were the same as two in Ramesses and read "mes." They were accompanied by the figure of a bird, an ibis. Champollion knew from reading ancient Greek books that the ibis was the symbol of Thoth, the Egyptian god of learning and magic. He decided the three hieroglyphs must represent the name of Thothmes, the "Child of Thoth," a pharaoh who ruled Egypt from 1501 to 1447 B. C.

B The dates that Thothmes ruled Egypt
