Rather interesting according to this researcher Hebrew is based on Egyptian hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics was mainly used for monumental and religious purposes not for everyday writing. For regular writing Classical Egyptians used the hieratic script.

Precisely why Jews are better than Muslims; they’re smart, they’re winners, they don’t blow themselves up, and they actually invented things.

Wait, wait!

Soon, a Koran will be found in a secret tomb, which predates that Hebrew writing.

Pay no attention to the fact that it is printed.

In a Microsoft script.

Do Jews say how their alphabet started?

[SeeSharp]

First of all, hieroglyphs are a phonetic alphabet. Second, though modern Egyptians speak Arabic, Egyptians are not Arabs any more than Afro-British are English. Third, there is no archeological evidence that the Israelites were ever in Egypt.

Jewish and Egyptian histories are deep and intertwined. They are natural allies. God willing, with Al Sisi and Bibi, the potential will at last be realized for the first time since Joseph and Pharaoh.

No Chinese writings?

So can we stop teaching that the Phoenicians invented the alphabet?

[Verginius Rufus]

I remember a story some time back about some characters found inscribed in the Egyptian desert which were thought to be the ancestors of the letters of the Phoenician alphabet. I don’t think there is any difference between the Phoenician alphabet and the early Hebrew alphabet (before the Jews began using the Aramaic forms of the letters). Anyway, weren’t the Israelites concentrated in the Land of Goshen?

I always thought the Phoenicians developed the alphabet and the Hebrews got it from them.l.Could it be the other way?
