Of course! I can help you check your answers. Let's go through each statement one by one:
1. Mesopotamian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphics had images to represent words or sentences.
- This statement is correct. Both Mesopotamian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphics used pictorial symbols to represent words, concepts, or even whole sentences.
2. Mesopotamian cuneiform used primarily curved lines and circular shapes.
- This statement is not entirely accurate. While cuneiform did use curved lines and circular shapes, it also encompassed a wide range of other geometric shapes, including wedges, triangles, and straight lines.
3. Egyptian hieroglyphics were primarily written on papyrus scrolls.
- This statement is mostly correct. Egyptian hieroglyphics were indeed written on papyrus, which was a type of plant-based paper used in ancient Egypt. However, it is worth noting that hieroglyphics could also be found on other surfaces like tomb walls, temple pillars, and pottery.
4. Both cuneiform and hieroglyphics were deciphered in the 19th century by scholars.
- This statement is incorrect. Although both cuneiform and hieroglyphics were not immediately understood when first encountered by modern scholars, the decipherment processes occurred at different times. Cuneiform was deciphered by Henry Rawlinson in the 19th century, while hieroglyphics were deciphered by Jean-François Champollion in the early 19th century.
