Turning to the letter sound pattern written: "r-a(h)," led me to: 'Ra - the Egyptian
god of the Sun.' Rather than an intuitive leap to an Indo-European root, the litera- ture gives the origin of this name as known: 'ancient Egypt.' Speculation regarding the true sense of the sound pattern written: "r-a(h)," when spoken as a word in the ancient Egyptian language, is eliminated. For a person who is fluent in this language, the nature, and natural definition, of our Sun is perceived as: that Being who is Ra. .....But this realization arrived only after my introduction to the study of a language which has been with us since the dawn of history - or, to be exact, since the voice met the eye at the end of the hand, creating that uniquely human activity: writing. Here, as with the work which enabled me to explore the Indo-European roots of the American language, the scholarship which brought us a sure voice to a reading of the Egyptian hieroglyphs shows the real genius of the persons who provided this gift... .....Jean-François Champollion is the person who is considered to have recognized a pattern which coordinated a certain hieroglyph with the sound of a single letter or, as in most instances, the sound of a letter group made up of two or three letters. The Rosetta Stone 
juxtaposed a pattern of hieroglyphs above a document written in the
Greek of 200 B.C.; this document contained the names of several historically known Pharaohs. Comparing these names written in Greek with each pattern of hieroglyphs that had been set within ( an oval with a line on one end )|, Champollion was able to decipher the name of Ptolemy [and, from other inscriptions, the name of Cleopatra,] and to read a Pharaoh's real name, in the language of the ancient Egyptian people.
