In the spirit world, the trickster god Raven grew bored. He decided to leave and fly over the earth, but he found it was in total darkness. The selfish Sky Chief had been hoarding daylight from the world. Raven wanted to be able to see the earth as he flew over it, so he decided to play a trick on the chief and steal the light. Raven crept into the chief’s dwelling. He appeared as a baby, with raven hair and black eyes. The chief's daughter adopted the child, never knowing that he was in fact Raven the trickster. —"The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the Haida"

C. The daughter also wanted to steal the light.
D. The daughter is caring toward other.

In the given passage from the text, the author mentioned how this discovery <em>"finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past"</em> which has been unavailable till now. It possesses the key to the life and language of the Egyptians, providing access to learn more about them.
Thus, the phrase that supports the view that the people who deciphered the hieroglyphs played an important role was "finally enabled scholars to unlock the Egyptian past".
