Yes. Aleph is not a vowel, it's a glottal stop (a slight catch in the voice). Thus sayeth Webster's Dictionary. Of course the Greeks turned it into a vowel (alpha).

They didn't write the vowels but they did speak them. The vowels are so regular that you can insert the vowels into the correct places almost all of the time. There are a few exceptions.

I doubt authenticity here.
It seems odd that a scribe would practice on limestone when there would be many pottery shards, etc., that are easier and cheaper than stone dressed for building.

You'd be amazed what people have written on that have been documented all over the world. Just like today when people have too much time on their hands and happen to have a pen - doodle anyone?

The Pentateuch was written in Hebrew...traditionally by Moses but a lot of Biblical scholars believe they were actually written much later (the four-source theory, Yahwist, Elohist, Priestly, and Deuteroomist, all dating from after the time of King David). The word Pentateuch is Greek.
