Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone. The Greek leader, Alexander the Great, had taken control of Egypt in 332 B.C., and after Alexander's death in 323 B.C. His general, Ptolemy, replaced him. From then until 30 B.C., when Rome conquered Egypt, a long line of pharaohs from the Ptolemy family ruled the country. The Ptolemys kept their Greek culture, including their language, but they also respected the customs and religious beliefs of the native Egyptians. The details in this excerpt serve as evidence for which fact?

Answer:

C. One of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Some of the Egyptian writings on the Rosetta Stone included hieroglyphs.

B. The inscription on the Rosetta Stone was the same in all three languages.

C. One of the three inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone was written in Greek.

D. French soldiers discovered the Rosetta Stone while tearing down an old fort.

This is the statement that best describes the reason why the author decided to include this piece of information. In this statement, the author tells us that the Egyptians were governed by a Greek dynasty between 332 BC and 30 BC. This would explain why one of the inscriptions on the stone was written in Greek. The other languages on the stone were Ancient Egyptian using hieroglypic, and Ancient Egyptian using Demotic. Because of this, the stone became the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
