Read the following text carefully, and then in your ANSWER BOOKLET answer all the questions that follow. Your answers should be based on the text.

The Rosetta Stone is nothing much to look at. Nevertheless, visitors to the British Museum flow endlessly past the piece of rock, despite being unable to make out what is written on it. If they could, they might be disappointed to discover that it is a kind of tax document. The stone is of historical importance because the ‘memo’ it contains is written in three languages: Greek, an Egyptian language called Demotic, and hieroglyphics like those found on tombs.

The Rosetta Stone remained in Egypt for 2000 years. Then in 1801, it was captured by the British Army and taken to London. There, academics tried to figure out what was written on it, but nobody could understand the hieroglyphics. That was, until a researcher named Thomas Young came across a group of symbols that spelled the name ‘Ptolemy’.

Rongorongo, which scholars believe may be a written language from Easter Island. It was found in the 19th century on various wooden objects and is made up of symbols showing animals, humans and plants. Then there’s the beautiful Voynich Manuscript, a book which has been dated to the early 15th century. It is thought to be written in a European language – though not a familiar one – and contains strange pictures of plants and animals. Because it remains so mysterious, it has inspired many contemporary films and books.

Finally, according to some estimates, the Tartaria Tablets, which were unearthed in Romania in 1961, are over 7000 years old. As with many messages from the past, opinions differ and even the experts can be sure of almost nothing. One day, someone will almost certainly spell out what these strange messages mean, and where mystery remains, investigation will surely continue.
