He recognized immediately that the last two hieroglyphs were the same as two in Ramesses and read "mes." They were accompanied b

y the figure of a bird, an ibis. Champollion knew from reading ancient Greek books that the ibis was the symbol of Thoth, the Egyptian god of learning and magic.

Answer:

the symbolic meaning of the ibis

Explanation:

Champollion was a scientist who was focused on Egypt and hieroglyphs, and he is famous for their translation. The passage explains his process of deduction and understanding of the symbols.

<u>Champollion knew that the bird of ibis symbolizes the god Th*ot, protector of magic and knowledge. </u>He gathered this from his earlier learning of the Greek books. Therefore, he realized the hieroglyphs presenting the ibis had something to do with this god. By deduction, he realized they represent the name of the pharaoh Thothmes  which means “Child of Th*ot”

This group of explorers were seeking "gold, god and glory?
nekit [7.7K]
Historians use a standard shorthand, “Gold, God, and Glory,” to describe the motives generating the overseas exploration, expansion, and conquests that allowed various European countries to rise to world power between 1400 and 1750. “Gold” refers to the search for material gain through acquiring and selling Asian spices, African slaves, American metals, and other resources. As merchants gained influence in late-medieval western Europe, they convinced their governments to establish a direct connection to the lucrative Asian trade, leading to the first European voyages of discovery in the 1400s. “God” refers to the militant crusading and missionary traditions of Christianity, characterized in part by rivalry with Islam and hatred of non-Christian religions. “Glory” alludes to the competition between monarchies. Some kings sought to establish their claims to newly contacted territories so as to strengthen their position in European politics and increase their power at the expense of the landowning nobility. They also embraced the ideology of mercantilism, which held that governments and large private companies should cooperate to increase the state’s wealth by increasing the reserves of precious metals. Motivated by these three aims, several western European peoples gained control or influence over widening segments of the globe during the Early Modern Era. By 1914 Europeans dominated much of the world politically and economically. Hope this helps!
