Explanation:

Question 1 (What discovery provided the means to interpret the hieroglyphs?)

The Rosetta Stone had inscriptions in hieroglyphs, demotic script, and Greek, which allowed scholars to decipher hieroglyphs by comparing the known Greek text with the other scripts. Pyramids are structures, the Ark of the Covenant is a religious artifact, and Monotheism is a religious belief, none of which helped interpret hieroglyphs.

In the Middle Kingdom, Pharaohs focused on public works, improving irrigation, and providing more equitable governance to help the people. The Old Kingdom was more about pyramid building, "Lost Kingdom" is not a recognized Egyptian period, and the New Kingdom was more about expansion and warfare.

The Hyksos were a Semitic - speaking people who invaded Egypt. The Zhou and Shang were Chinese dynasties, not related to the Hyksos.

A. Rosetta Stone
