Question

Hakeim is writing a literary analysis and reads this passage from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone. Spotlights pick out markings carved into the surface of the stone, and close up you can tell that these marks are writing. At the top are fourteen lines of hieroglyphs – pictures of animals, birds, and geometric shapes. Below them you can make out thirty-two lines written in an unfamiliar script. And below that, at the bottom of the slab, are fifty-four more lines written in the letters of the Greek alphabet. Which thesis best fits into Hakeim’s essay? To have an appreciation for the Rosetta Stone, it is important to view the artifact up close. James Cross Giblin describes that hieroglyphs are representations of such images as birds, cats, and other shapes. James Cross Giblin effectively describes how the Rosetta Stone presents carved data that were important for understanding ancient writing. More than one hundred lines of textual information are included on the Rosetta Stone.
