Explanation:

Analyze New Kingdom military expansion

The New Kingdom of Egypt justified its imperial expansion and military campaigns partly through the religious and philosophical duty to maintain ma'at (order, justice, and cosmic balance) by conquering and stabilizing chaotic forces beyond Egypt's borders.

Analyze Cleopatra's significance

Cleopatra VII was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Her reign is historically significant because it represented the continuation of Hellenistic Greek rule and highly strategic diplomacy (leveraging relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony) to maintain Egyptian autonomy amid rapid Roman expansion.

Analyze the Rosetta Stone statement

The Rosetta Stone was crucial because it allowed scholars (such as Jean-François Champollion) to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, not Babylonian cuneiform. Therefore, the statement is false.
