In history class the mentioned inventor was the city state of Ugarit on the coast. About 40 years later they were conquered by the Jews as a pagan city of the Canaanites. The writing system was adopted immediately and became the original writing system of the Hebrew language. Some time later it was adapted by the Greeks and the early Latins adapted it from the Greeks. Some few pre-Hebrew writing samples have survived to modern time but there aren’t many since its was wasn’t widespread and was present for only a small slice of time.
- tachion 6y agoThis is so obviously fake news. Latest research backed by carbon based spectrum analysis proves that it was "invented" by a tribe Alphabetians (or Aphapet-es as they called themselves). I'm saying "invented" because it was passed to them by the Giant Lizards From Space in visions inducted with direct brain 5G transmissions. Turn on your thinking and do your own research.
- wl 6y agoYes, an alphabet was used in Ugarit that may have been invented first. It arose from cuneiform and its ancestors died out long ago. The "Phoenician" alphabet used for archaic Hebrew and which later developed into the Greek and Latin scripts is what's being discussed here.
