Rosetta stone
Explanation:
The Rosetta Stone
In 1799, when Napoleon’s army was dismantling a wall in Rashid, Egypt, they discovered the Rosetta Stone. Little did they know that this 11-inch thick piece of rock would be one of the greatest discoveries in history! It contained Egyptian scripture, with Greek also on the stone. This was used to decode the once lost Egyptian writing system. Before the 1800’s, attempts at trying to uncover the secrets held by the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics found on walls inside numerous tombs were useless. The pictures were falsely believed to be symbolic, representing some sort of object or idea. Something soon changed all of this misconception. 1799 was the year of a great breakthrough in Egyptology.
Another man who devoted many years of his life to studying the stone was Jean-Francois Champollion. After many years of perseverance, Champollion finally translated the stone in 1822. He accomplished this feat by first recognizing that hieroglyphs were not symbols, but instead were associated with phonetics, as Thomas Young had proved. (Andrews 166) His first major breakthrough in his studies was in 1808, when he resolved those fifteen signs of the demotic script related with alphabetic letters from the Coptic language. From this he concluded that Coptic language must be based on the remnants of the last of the ancient Egyptian language, and written with the Greek alphabet, which is why it was readable to Champollion and other scholars researching the stone. Also, that the hieroglyphic text was a translation of the Greek, not the reverse, as had been previously believed. By 1818, Champollion had successfully concluded that though some signs were basically ideograms, many of the glyphs had phonetic value, meaning the ancient Egyptian script was at least partially alphabetic. (Giblin 83) He came to this conclusion after referring back to three other different forms of Egyptian writing and also using Coptic as a reference.
hope it's help
Answer:
Explanation:
When it was discovered nobody knew how to read Ancient Egyptian. Because the inscriptions say the same thing in three different languages, the Rosetta Stone became a very valuable piece of evidence. Through the work of many people, it took over 2 months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone had to say. The Rosetta Stone is a piece of rock that was written on and was made to honor an Egyptian Pharaoh. The Rosetta stone today actually has many locations and some are relocated today, mainly because it make sit harder to be stolen. And because there is only one Rosetta stone other museums have papers and other documents that describe what the Rosetta Stone is about. Also, the documents discovered the Rosetta Stone on 15 July 1799 while digging the foundations of an addition to a fort near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) in the Nile Delta. It had apparently been built into a very old wall. The officer in charge, Pierre-François Bouchard, realized the importance of the discovery.
Ares was the god of war in greek mythology. A helmet and a shield not
full armor protected him. The greeks considered he the least of the
twelve olympians because he was carless and bloodthirsty. In many of
Homers stories Ares was defeated or shamed by his half-sister Athena
the warrior-goddess whom protected both home and civilization.
Answer:
Not true on the least of the twelve.

I think the Minimum wage should be increased for fast-food workers.
PLEASE HELP ME WRITE A CLAIM FOR THIS!!!! 4-5 sentences
Answer:
Minimum wage should be increased for fast-food workers for many reasons. Most people working in fast-food are either teenagers trying to save money up to start a life, or people who can not get a different job with higher pay. These people are depending on the money to have a decent life, and provide. I also think they need higher pay because of all they have to do in their job. They deal with rude customers on a daily basis. They also stress over how good they are dong their job, proper cooking and getting orders right and even saying the right things.

what happens after Bill kicks Red chief out of camp? A. They lose the ransom money B. Red Chief returns to camp C. Red Chief contacts the authorities
Answer:
B. Red Chief returns to camp.
Explanation:
O. Henry's short story "The Ransom of Red Chief" revolves around two petty criminals and their failed attempt in trying to get money from kidnapping a rich man's son. But contrary to their expectation, things did not go well and the story hilariously ends with these criminals instead paying the father for the return of his kidnapped son.
After the small kid, Johnny Dorset was taken to the cave to hide out, he renamed himself Red Chief and made Bill play with him as Indians. But with the 'intensity' of their game and the 'hyper-activeness' of the young boy, Bill became so wearied and wanted nothing more to do with the boy. So, while the narrator Sam went to the post office to mail the letter of ransom, Bill was left to keep Johnny entertained. It was during this time that he 'tried' to return Johnny but with no success. Johnny had followed him back to the camp, without the knowledge of Bill.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Can you think of other places we encounter metaphors in our lives besides poetry? What are some other ways metaphors are used?
Answer:
Metaphors can make your words come to life (or in the case of the exam, to death). Often, you can use a metaphor to make your subject more relatable to the reader or to make a complex thought easier to understand. They can also be a tremendous help when you want to enhance your writing with imagery.
metaphor states that something is something else without using the word like or as. For eg: Your blog post is a bland dish.

Which detail best supports the author's point of view that writing a humorous story requires great skill?
How to Tell a Story
by Mark Twain (adapted excerpt)
The humorous story is American, the comic story is English, the witty story is French. The humorous story depends for its effect upon the manner of the telling, while the comic story and the witty story upon the matter.
The humorous story may be spun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic and witty stories must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story bubbles gently along, the others burst.
The humorous story is strictly a work of art—high and delicate art—and only an artist can tell it; but no art is necessary in telling the comic and the witty story; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story—understand, I mean by word of mouth, not print—was created in America, and has remained at home.
The humorous story is told gravely where the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through.
Answer:
“the humorous story is strictly a work of art-high and delicate art-and only an artist can tell it;”

danielle used 8cm of tape to wrap 4 presents if danielle used 30cm of tape how many presents did she wrap
Answer:
15 presents
Explanation:
1. Find the amount it takes to multiply 8 by to get 30. The reason we need to find this is because we need to multiply 4 by the same number to get the amount of presents, because if you multiply one number in a relationship by some number, you have to do the same to the other number. To get from 8 to 30, you multiply by 3 3/4 (30/8).
2. Multiply 4 by that number. 4 * 30/8 (3 3/4) is equal to 30/2, which is equal to 15. This means that she wrapped 15 presents
