Read the excerpt from the riddle of the rosetta stone.
de guignes guessed rightly that the cartouches in hieroglyphic inscriptions were intended to draw attention to important names, probably the names of egyptian rulers.
along with such insights, de guignes advanced other ideas about the hieroglyphs that were as silly as any that had been proposed by kircher or horapollo. after comparing some egyptian hieroglyphs with examples of chinese picture writing, de guignes announced that settlers from egypt must have colonized china in ancient times.
which word describes giblin’s view of de guignes’s ideas?
promising
important
ridiculous
confusing
