You will find that more people will pay attention to your effort if you start by explaining how you figured out the right language/encryption.
Like, Champollion guessed that the cartouche in the hieroglyphic text was embellishment for the name of the king, which was Ptolemy in the Greek text; and he could match the hieroglyphs inside it with the consonants of "Ptolmes".
And Hrozny looked at the Hittite sentence "nu ninda-an ezzateni vatar-ma ekutteni", knew that "ninda" was "bread", and observed that the other words resembled "water", "drink", and "eat" in some old Indo-European languages.
