Abstract
Decipherment bicentenary exhibitions helped to foreground the archival evidence and its gaps. Egyptologists have emphasised also how a detailed understanding of the ancient language and its scripts took many decades beyond 1822, while researchers in multiple disciplines have analysed the bias against non-European scripts in European-language philology and linguistics. Research starting from Arabic language and script, as Ahmad Kamal sought, would support more accurate description and appreciation of the ancient script that spoke clearly first, in modern times, to Champollion.
