Topic: Protosinaitic


  
  Chapter Excerpt: Bartlett's Bible Quotations by John Bartlett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Deciphered in 1940 by William Albright, these inscriptions are believed to be the initial forms of a Semitic alphabet, the precursor to our alphabet, and to all alphabets.
The snake would become the N, the fish the D, the house the B. These letters, called the protosinaitic inscriptions, are the oldest letters ever found.
Visiting this site a few years ago, I was struck by the fact that the Semitic alphabet was developed in the Ancient Near East in the middle of the second millennium B.C.E., at nearly the exact time that the Israelites would have been traversing this same route during their Exodus from Egypt.

 Get addicted to archaeological linguistics | Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Reading the Past, Vol. 6) | W. V. Davies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Despite Egypt being one of the ancient 'superpowers', its writing system did not make much impact beyond the borders of Egypt, as another wide-spread script was preferred in many ancient cultures - cuneiform.
Nonetheless, Protosinaitic and Meroitic scripts directly borrowed from Egyptian script, and influences may have been made on Cretan and Hittite written language forms as well.
Davies includes a useful bibliography, and gets full marks for including an index for even so brief a book as this.
