Which detail from the riddle of the rosetta stone by james cross giblin points to the big picture that hieroglyphs can represent sounds? they were accompanied by 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. champollion immediately thought of the one greek leader whose name might be identified with this particular combination of letters. it was alexander the great, spelled "alexandros" in greek, and apparently represented as "alksentrs" in hieroglyphs. he succeeded in reading the names of all the greek and roman leaders who had ruled egypt since the time of alexander. he also translated the various titles adopted by these monarchs: "caesar," "great king," "beloved of the gods," etc. this made champollion think at once of the coptic word for "give birth," which was pronounced mes. he put that sound in place of the question mark, and there the name was ramesses, "the child of ra."

Explanation:

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
