“For decades, it’s been a common belief that the Ancient Egyptians were responsible for the very first alphabet. “

Pure BS. Must be a woke education...

A Catholic priest I know who spent many years in Lebanon was also a linguist (knew 15 languages, from Arabic and Hindi through Quecua, Gaelic, Hebre and Esperanto. He said Mass in Latin.) told me that the Syrians believe their version of Aramaic was the original language(the one that Adam and Eve spoke). He chuckled lightly as he recounted it.

I’m glad they use the “BC” time scale.

Also, I don’t think we’ll ever see recorded (written) history earlier than the Biblical time scale.

If a written language is discovered on 4,400 year old artifacts, that proves the written language must have pre-dated the artifact since the language didn’t arise overnight.

How many centuries/generations to develop a written language from spoken? Is it possible written language/alphabet is thousands of years older? Aren’t we getting close to the Ice Age here?

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.
