HELP PLEASE!!! IF YOU KNOW 7TH GRADE EGYPT HISTORY!!!

How were scholars able to translate hieroglyphic symbols?



Scholars compared hieroglyphics to cuneiform and found enough similarities to create an alphabet of the Egyptian writing system.



Because early hieroglyphics were picture writing, scholars could decipher their meaning and then match them to more modern Egyptian writing.



Archaeologists unearthed a set of papyrus scrolls that had served as a dictionary in ancient Egypt.



By comparing a message written in both hieroglyphics and Greek, scholars were able to translate the hieroglyphic symbols.

Answer:

I believe the answer is: C.By comparing a message written in both hieroglyphics and Greek, scholars were able to translate the hieroglyphic symbols. .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 6th century, the ancient greek and egyptian civilizations has already involved with one another through trades and travelling scholars. Because of this, cultural assimilation happened between the two, and many writings in greek actually depict a simialr writing that could be found in egyptian hieroglyphics
