Question

The Rosetta Stone is a stone slab that became key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby opening a window into ancient Egyptian history. It is hoped that a similar discovery will eventually be made in the context of one other ancient script. Which of the following is being referred to?

• A. The Brahmi script
• B. The Sumerian script
• C. The Kadamba script
• D. The Harappan script

Answer 1

The correct option is D The Harappan script

The Rosetta Stone is a stone slab that became key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, thereby opening a window into ancient Egyptian history. In this context, "finding another Rosetta Stone" or deciphering the script of the Harappans would be key to arriving at a deeper understanding of their society and breaking down questions that are yet to be answered.
