This toot about the #PhoenecianAlphabet us very interesting.
I remembered reading about a simplified script for accounting purposes in #AncientEgypt, #Hieratic script, though.
Hieratic was supposedly developed at about the same time as the #hieroglyphs*, i.e. at least 3,400 BCE, and would therefore be much older than #Canaanite #scripture, i.e. the #PhoenicianAlphabet.
What am I missing?
