ersian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.

In 1933, the U.S. Congress repealed the Prohibition laws that forbade the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol for c
Lesechka [4]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

No, the repeal of Prohibition did not cause severe dust storms in the Great Plains.

In the 1930s, the Great Plains lived difficult moments when severe dust storms hit this region of the United States. The dryness due to lack of water, the removal of native grasses, combined with climate conditions, produced these dust storms that killed animals and ruined the crops. There was no way to keep on farming the land and people had to move to the Pacific West, to California, where they had to start a new life.
