[Ads-l] Invention of the Alphabet. Thank you Canaanites

[Wilson Gray]

It's been said that the alphabet was invented only once. There is only one
alphabet, with many variations. Wikipedia says that this may well be the
case and says that the Artabic alphabet looks weird because it's based on a
cursive version of the alphabet.
