I NEED HELP! Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for “T,” whereas it actually stood

for the vowel “O.” The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just “L,” the fifth meant “M,” and the last hieroglyph stood simply for “S.” In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was “Ptolmis,” not “Ptolemaios.”
But Young got three out of the seven symbols right, which was a better score than any scholar before him had achieved.
Young published his findings in an article written for the 1819 supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica. He continued to work on the problem of the hieroglyphs in the years that followed, but made little headway in deciphering additional names and words. Why? Largely because he was working under a false assumption.
Like countless other scholars over the centuries, Young still believed that most of the hieroglyphs must have a symbolic meaning. Only in special cases, such as foreign names, did he think that they were used to represent sounds.
Because of this mistaken belief, Young put roadblocks in his own path. However, he had laid a solid groundwork for others in their attempts to decipher the hieroglyphs. And a young Frenchman, Jean-Francois Champollion, was ready to take up the challenge where Young had left off.

Who spread smallpox from soldiers to the aztec?
OleMash [197]
The Spanish transferred the smallpox disease from themselves to the Aztecs by being around them and the Aztecs didn't have any immunity to the diseases that the Spanish brought over, so 75% of them died from the diseases.

Hope that helps.
