BAC EXAM PAPER FOR PREPARATION
A - Comprehension (7 pts)
• Read the text carefully th en do the activities.
The study of ancient Egypt is called Egyptology, and experts in the field are Egyptologists. Much of their knowledge cornes from studying the architecture and other arts of ancient Egypt. Excavations of pharaohs' tombs, such as those in a burial ground called the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor, have yielded superb paintings. Tutankhamen's tomb was filled with stunning examples of the ancient Egyptians'ski11 in woodworking and ****lworking.
Information about ancient Egypt also cornes from written records made by the Egyptians themselves and by such ancient Greek writers as Herodotus and Strabo. The Egyptians used hieroglyphics until sometime after they were colonized by the Romans. The ability of anyone to read Egyptian hieroglyphics was then quickly lost.
For over one thousand years, scholars tried but failed to decipher the writing system of ancient Egypt. Then, in 1799, a rock slab with ancient Greek and Egyptianwriting was found outside Rosetta, a city near Alexandria. A French scholar namedJean Francois Champollion began to compare the Greek and Egyptian words on the
so-called Rosetta stone. By 1822, he had deciphered the hieroglyphics. Dictionaries developed since then have helped scholars translate the writings on many monument sand in temples and tombs.
