    Why was the Rosetta Stone so vital? - Franziska Naether

    Dig into how scholars decoded the writing on the Rosetta Stone, and how this helped them understand ancient hieroglyphs.--For centuries, scholars puzzled over the hieroglyphs they found carved onto ancient Egyptian ruins, tablets, and papyri. But in 1799, a unique discovery would finally help unlock their meaning. It was a stone inscribed with three different texts: Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and Ancient Greek. Franziska Naether shares how scholars decoded the ancient message of the Rosetta Stone.Lesson by Franziska Naether, directed by Tim Rauch.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-was-the-rosetta-stone-so-important-franziska-naetherDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-was-the-rosetta-stone-so-important-franziska-naether/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.instagram.com/tim_rauch----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    The Nazis recruited to succeed in the Cold War - Brian Crim

    Dig into Operation Paperclip, a secret intelligence program which brought scientists from Nazi Germany to the US after WWII.--In May of 1945 the Third Reich was in chaos. Adolf Hitler was dead and German surrender was imminent. But while World War II was almost over, a new war was brewing. And the US was eager to recruit the smartest minds in Germany before the Soviets got the chance— regardless of their affiliation with the Nazis. This became known as Operation Paperclip.
