Alphabet

Around 1500 BC the nations of the ancient Near East began to use a new form of writing: the alphabet. It was probably the Phoenicians who developed this form of writing. The alphabet consisted of 22 letters, each one indicating a particular consonant. Vowels were not represented in the writing. This type of writing is called “alphabet” after the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha and beta.
