From Google Video Search: "phoenician alphabet" What was the importance of the Phoenician alphabet? Q. Asked by lookin4jazzy - Sun Nov 12 20:54:17 2006 - History - 6 Answers - Comments A. Actually, the alphabet was not "Phoenician" per se. That is, it was NOT the Phoenicians who invented it. Rather the Phoenicians of the 1st millennium BC continued to use a form of the ancient Semitic alphabet for perhaps a millennium before that (going back to a form called "Proto-Sinaitic " used in the Sinai region). The importance of the Phoenicians is that, as TRADERS plying the waters of the Mediterranean (Phoenicia consisted of north Syrian port cities, esp. Tyre) they took the alphabet with them and SPREAD it around the Mediterranean world, esp. to the Greeks and Etruscans and through the later to the Romans. From these the alphabet spread throughout Europe and eventually across the world.

Does anyone know, do any exist? was there a recent discovery of an older alphabet? thanx Asked by Benjamin - Fri Apr 29 20:49:43 2011 - Languages - 3 Answers - Comments A.
