Question

Which discovery made it possible for modern scholars to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics?

Answer 1

Answer:

finding Rosetta Stone

Explanation:

The discovery of Rosetta Stone made possible to translate hieroglyphics that were coded as they reflect sacred writings and describe some traditions only transmitted to Egyptian priests.

The discovery of Rosetta Stone includes a translation into Ancient Greek which is used for reference. Most of the ancient history of Egypt is recorded in hieroglyphics, that is why the knowledge we have from them is traced back from these scripts. Since Rosetta Stone included three languages, it made possible for archeologists to continue unveiling the mysteries. Then Egyptians (non priests were more able to assist in the decoding of these messages).

The Rosetta Stone was carved in 196 B.C.. The Rosetta Stone was found by French soldiers at the time of Napoleon as they were rebuilding a fort in the campaign for Egypt. This Rosetta Stone was found in a small village in the Delta and yet still modern scholars considered it a great source of information about the Ancient world.
