Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
The middle hieroglyph was unknown to him, but he guessed that the two at the left symbolized the sun.
From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote
down
the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the
end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.
He studied the combination: RA? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient
Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic
representation of Ramesses' name?
The details in the excerpt point to which big-picture idea?
Hieroglyphs are both a representation of sounds and symbols.
Several famous names can be found in the Biblical Book of Exodus.
The sun has symbolic meaning in many different cultures.
O Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah.

Read the excerpt from warriors don't cry. as we approached behind them, we could see only the clusters of white people that stretched for a distance of two blocks along the entire span of the school building. my mind could take in the sights and sounds only one by one: flashing cameras, voices shouting in my ears, men and women jostling each other, old people, young people, people running, uniformed police officers walking, men standing still, men and women waving their fists, and then the long line of uniformed soldiers carrying weapons just like in the war movies i had seen. which words create the mood in the excerpt? check all that apply.
