—The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone,
James Cross Giblin

Young made several mistakes. He thought the third hieroglyph was part of the one for “T,” whereas it actually stood for the vowel “O.” The fourth hieroglyph, the lion, meant just “L,” the fifth meant “M,” and the last hieroglyph stood simply for “S.” In other words, the spelling in Egyptian was “Ptolmis,” not “Ptolemaios.”

But Young got three out of the seven symbols right, which was a better score than any scholar before him had achieved.

Young published his findings in an article written for the 1819 supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica. He continued to work on the problem of the hieroglyphs in the years that followed, but made little headway in deciphering additional names and words. Why? Largely because he was working under a false assumption.

Like countless other scholars over the centuries, Young still believed that most of the hieroglyphs must have a symbolic meaning. Only in special cases, such as foreign names, did he think that they were used to represent sounds.

Because of this mistaken belief, Young put roadblocks in his own path. However, he had laid a solid groundwork for others in their attempts to decipher the hieroglyphs. And a young Frenchman, Jean-Francois Champollion, was ready to take up the challenge where Young had left off.

Read "Python Invasion" and answer the questions on the right.


Python Invasion!

By Leigh Driver


For years, the number-one, most feared animal in Florida has been the alligator. But recently the Burmese python has been challenging the alligators’ long-held position. Burmese pythons are native to Asia, but they have found a new home in Florida. Their numbers are increasing dramatically. Today they can be found in the wild and in suburbs across the state. Burmese pythons have lightly-colored skin with brown patches, and they are admired for their skin patterns and size. But they are also massive hunters--among the largest top six snakes in the world--and they pose a danger to people, other animals, and the environment.


How Did They Get There?


The Burmese python has become more and more popular as a house pet. This caused a surge of imports of the snake to Florida. This is not the first time Florida has become home to a species of reptile intended to be kept as a pet. The state is the adopted home of several types of reptiles. The green iguana and the speckled caiman, a type of alligator, were brought to Florida as family pets. Now, many of theses creatures live in the wild. These animals may seem like exotic and fascinating alternatives to the family cat, but they are very difficult to maintain. People often found them hard to keep at home, so they released them to the wild.

The same thing is happening with the Burmese python, an animal that begins at a manageable three feet long on average but can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh up to 250 pounds. There have been several reports of deaths in homes where pythons are kept. When a python is fully grown, many owners find they can no longer handle their exotic reptile, and they simply release it outdoors.

Another factor has been the destructive hurricanes that Florida has suffered over the years. Sometimes storms damage pet stores and animal shelters, and the reptiles get loose. When people bring their other pets to shelters, it is sometimes easier to free the snakes because of overcrowding.

Environmental Impact

A python can survive very well in the Florida climate. In fact, the Florida Everglades are the perfect home for these snakes. Some experts estimate that there are up to 100,000 Burmese pythons living in the Everglades alone. But this surge of wild pythons is not without problems.

Releasing animals into an environment where they do not belong affects that environment and the species within it. Such animal populations are referred to as a non-native species. While few creatures prey on it, the python competes with other animals in the territory. For example, alligators compete for prey with pythons. As these snakes breed and thrive, they threaten the survival of the alligators. Other animal populations may also be harmed by the presence of pythons, and Floridians who are concerned about conservation have publicized the dangers of this situation.

Danger to People


Another growing concern is that the Burmese python can seriously harm people. A python can eat an animal as large as a full-grown deer, and it is extremely difficult to control the powerful creature. Some Floridians believe that keeping these snakes as pets is simply not safe.






What Can Be Done?

Scientists and citizens have become more and more worried about the “invasion” of the Burmese python into the Florida wild. There have been proposals to ban the importation of snakes or to make it illegal to keep these animals as pets, but so far no laws have been passed. Some have even proposed destroying the pythons living in the Everglades to get rid of the problem.

The group hanging out in front of the movies cringed when Larry sauntered around the corner. His personality was so forceful that he could hardly keep from giving everyone a hard time.
Jimmy spoke up to greet him, "Hey, Larry. I liked your speech today in class. You were quite, um, assertive when you jumped in and took Harold's turn."
Henry chimed in, "Yeah, I thought that Harold was acting a bit too modestly to get on with it."
Larry answered back favorably, "Thanks, guys. Do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all," said George, the group's unofficial leader. He was self-confident enough to take charge in any situation, figuring he was the best man for the job whether or not anyone else agreed.
Larry got in line behind them, and when he stepped up to the counter to purchase his ticket, the young clerk at the window nervously rang up his ticket. She fumbled with his change.
"Don't mind her," grumbled the deliberately paced veteran from the back of the booth. "She's new, but I bet she'll get the hang of things in no time," he offered with a rather unconvincing wink.

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.
