I watched this documentary on the history of the Alphabet on Public Television in US. It is now online. Very interesting.

I’ll give that a little watch. It’s a fascinating topic.

Edit: I just watched the program and it’s so amazing. To watch the evolution from pictographs, to glyphs, to rebus, to alphabet. And how it spread from, as they found it, one place to all of the Middle East and Mediterranean areas.

I knew there were multiple origins of writing systems but they provided evidence of single origin of the alphabets.
