In the Middle East, slaves living at death’s door step is nothing new.

Of course without knowing what the sounds mean, this alphabet is worthless In deciphering the Rosetta Stone, Champollion made the assumption that the language used in the Hieroglyphics was related to modern Coptic. From what is known of ancient middle eastern languages it may be possible to make inroads once sounds have been reconstructed.
