Morons are indeed common.
The first alphabet had to have come from Adam. He named all the animals, and have to had written a history for Moses to later record.

Worlds oldest is Cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians over 7,000 years ago. Dr. Irving Finkle of the British Museum is the acknowledged expert on this and has translated thousands of clay tablets from the library of Ashurbanipal.
