Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. De Guignes guessed rightly that the cartouches in hieroglyphic inscriptions were intended to draw attention to
important names, probably the names of Egyptian rulers.
Along with such insights, de Guignes advanced other ideas about the hieroglyphs that were as silly as any that had
been proposed by Kircher or Horapollo. After comparing some Egyptian hieroglyphs with examples of Chinese
picture writing, de Guignes announced that settlers from Egypt must have colonized China in ancient times.
What ideas of de Guignes differed sharply from the author's?
O Egyptian society used picture writing.
Chinese society used hieroglyphs.
Cartouches were part of hieroglyphic inscriptions.
Egyptian settlers had colonized China.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”

the scientific revolution brought us a renewed understanding of humanity and our place in the universe, new scientific equipment, and new laws as a basis for future scientific discovery.
