Why does Rosetta Stone language software cost so much?

There are several ways of answering this question, but the main basic reasons are because:

a) People are willing to purchase Rosetta Stone at what the company charges,

b) The company needs to recover costs involved in making the programs (not just programmers, but also linguistic specialists) and still make a profit (the larger the profit, the better for the company - see "a"),

and

c) Bootlegging (i.e., pirating software), which forces the company to make a profit on fewer programs sold (fewer programs are sold because some people pirate the software or purchase pirated versions of the software instead of purchasing it).

How long did it take Moses to convince pharaoh to let the people leave Egypt?

According to the Bible, the Pharaoh did not really let the Hebrews go. At least two and a half million Israelites escaped unnoticed in a single night from across Egypt.

Why was egyptian civilization so interested in death and dying?

they believed that death was an exact replica of their normal life but the also believed that the afterlife would be much better. however, everyone was obliged to an afterlife no matter if they were rich or poor. however, the rich, such as the pharaoh's received a much better burial because they had money but they also had to earn a good afterlife through doing good deeds (pharaoh's). therefore, to assure that they had a good afterlife, they were buried with symbolic objects such as pots and jewellery etc. so they could have those things with them in the afterlife if they needed them. however, prior to the burial, they would go through a long process of preserving the body. on the other hand, they also believed in the ba and the ka. the Body was the dwelling place of the ba. the ba could fly in and out of the body. the ba is most commonly known as the spirit or soul of the human body. they also believed in the ka which was like a double or a shadow. the ka met the dead person at the gates of the next world and introduced them to the gods. when they reached the gates, they were judged by Osiris and their heart was weighed against a feather to determine if they were pure or not. if the heart was lighter or equal to the weight of the feather, that meant that they were pure whereas, if the heart was heavier than the feather they were not allowed into the underworld. overall, the burial of the body indirectly shows that there was a hierarchy within ancient Egypt because it showed the amount of wealth that each person/family had.
