Read the excerpt from the riddle of the rosetta stone by james cross giblin. some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient egypt. a german priest of the 1600s, athanasius kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of coptic, the language of christian egypt. these books were to prove of great value when the hieroglyphs were eventually deciphered. but kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of horapollo. looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—kircher let his imagination run wild. without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "the blessings of the god osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river nile may be obtained." which sentence from this excerpt contains evidence that supports the claim? but kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of horapollo. a german priest of the 1600s, athanasius kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of coptic, the language of christian egypt. looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—kircher let his imagination run wild. some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient egypt.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
