Chapter:

A large, heavy package arrived at the scholars’ palace in Cairo. When they opened it, they found it contained a black stoned slab covered with writing in three different scripts. A note from a French army officer was inside the package saying that the stone had been unearthed in an old fort near the town of Rosetta, thirty-five miles north of Alexandria, Egypt. French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab.

Preface:

Before the Rosetta Stone was found, Egyptian history was lost to the world. The only clues were the mysterious picture writings that adorned temples and pyramids. For hundreds of years, scholars struggled to decipher these hieroglyphs. Then, in 1799, soldiers in Napoleon’s army stumbled on the Rosetta Stone.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
