Phoenomenon ping.
he's gone out of his gourd
Phenomenon? When the Arab Muslims invaded they didn’t replace the inhabitants... they were the masters and made sure that the subjugated people converted to Islam. Despite sharing Islam and the Arabic language, “Arabs” from countries as diverse as Lybia, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq have ethnically not that much in common with peninsulan Arabs.
The word “Alphabet” comes from the first two letters of the Phoenecian alphabet “Alpha” and “Bet”
That language is considered the precursor of Hebrew, Aramaic etc.
Juan Cole. LOL!
The Phoenecians settled my ancestral hometown in southern Italy, although my mother’s family are likely more Greek than anything else.
And Phoenicians were really Greek...and they invented Windex.
