Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to
Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a
soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone. This famous stone,
which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in
three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientists
discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.
Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French philologist, fluent in
several languages, was able to decipher the first word- Ptolemy- name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written
inside an oval called a “cartouche”. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people
of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase his growing list of known
phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply
hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while
Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words

B. Champollion and Young worked together in an attempt to decipher the hieroglyphics
C. One of Napoleon’s soldiers discovered the Rosetta stone
D. Thomas Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols
Câu 2 4: When was the first word from the Rosetta stone deciphered?

The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and prophecy, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C.
Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The four
sides of the Pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east, and west-an incredible engineering feat. The
ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific
study indicates that these represent a type of time line of events-past, present, and future. Many of the events have been
interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are
presently under investigation.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?
Câu 28: Approximately how long ago was the Great Pyramid constructed
A. 640 years B.2,720 years C. 4,000 years D. 4,700 years
Câu 29: On what did the ancient Egyptians base their calculations ?
A. observation of the celestial bodies C. advanced tools of measurement
B. advanced technology D. knowledge of the earth’s surface
