The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin

In this line of text, the author makes his viewpoint clear about the..

C. Rosetta Stone's use of hieroglyphs to describe life in ancient Egypt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rosetta Stone has Egyptian hieroglyphs, a system of Egyptian writing. Hieroglyphs are a kind of script made up of small pictures. This writing system was originally used in ancient Egypt to document religious texts. They were carved on stones. Napoleon soldiers first discovered the Rosetta Stone. But it was later captured by Britain following the defeat of the Napoleonian army in Egypt. With this stone, historians were able to study the history of ancient Egypt.
