Did Our Current Alphabet Come from Egyptian Symbols? David Rohl Answers in This Interview

I’m Welsh and our old Welsh alphabet can translate hieroglyphics too it goes way back to Egypt and bible, Colebren Much love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

All language is first spoken, then written as you hear the sound! When the ancients first began to write things down, we see pictorial, which later get turned into phonetic letters and that is where the phono-voice is recorded in one form or another! Thus sounds can be what we may call vowels or consonants as a regulatory system! Everyone has their own way of speaking and their tongue use, so when the spoken words turn to written, it's always down to the scribe to interpret what is said and that is if they understood at first hearing according to the speaker's tone and ways of verbalizing the subject matter! Accents can change and spelling too! Spoken produces words that include vowels, so if you don't see the vowels written, it can be confusing! So, how about the Aleph in our Aleph Beyt - Alphabet? Fascinating, well done David Rohl!

I have heard one specialist in Egyptian language teach that he believes that he can connect Ephraim and Manassah to the original Hebrew Script. Seems to me that you should be working very closely together. Thanks for all you have done this far .

It’s absolutely extatic.

2:29 I would say, not even the vowels are "added" Iud and Vav are both consonants and vowels of nearly same sound (the most open of consonants, the most closed of vowels). Iud gives both J and I, Vav gives F, V, W and U (why F? well, Etruscans stylised the sounds as "WH" that is FH in their script, and when Latin's took over the alphabet with V for W, the FH was simplified to F). A, E and O are laryngeals, along with H, the one laryngeal which remained so in the Doric alphabet, the other three becoming vowels (in Ionic, the H sound was lost and H became one long version of E). And Y is actually yet another version of Vav, even if now often in many languages used to write the sound of Iud, it's because in Ionic and Attic and Koiné, U in many positions or even all became Ü, which is the sound of Y in German, Swedish, Danish, Latin ... and in Byzantine times Ü became I, hence the sound in French, Spanish and English. I think Italian is avoiding the letter, to avoid confusion.

It is lovely to see further proof on these topics but as a Christian I already have accepted the truth of Gods word. The time line has been changed through evil intent from Satan. Anything that is hidden is hidden by design though in the future our Lord will reveal everything

[@Mr-Corey-June]

Moses was raised as a prince of Egypt. He would have been taught to read and write Egyptian, not just Hieroglyphs, but Egyptian 'Hieratic' which was the cursive script at the time and before and after these dates. It has 22 letters in it's alphabet, which symbolize sounds. So it can be used to write any language phonetically. It's the mother script, but nobody brings this up. Moses wrote Hebrew with Hieratic script. After Babylon we have a narration added to what Moses wrote, and in a different script. God wrote with the script that people would have been able to read from living in Egypt, but in their language. I'm typing in English with Latan script, it's not English script. Sadly our scholars are still lost in pre Rosetta thought. Yes the timeline needs to be corrected, but so does the timeline of script, and no longer ignore Hieratic.

[@ColorDeluge]

The tenth sign from right to left looks strange to me and different from the other shin's; maybe it is a tsade. And the last word looks like arba, "four" (aleph + resh + beth + ayin). The word before that one looks like amr, "say; prince" (aleph + mayim + resh). The word before that one looks like ma, "with" (mayim + ayin).

[@Bimfirestarter]

Yet right! Bottom line says "Listen, says Arba!"

There is a world of difference between the evolution of an Alphabet and narrative writing. Please demonstrate any evidence of narrative writing prior to 8th century BCE

[@garyanthony5292]

It could have happened the other way around.. an original written language could have evolved and then be changed by others as language is in flux and other languages arise organically. Linear A and Linear B are other examples of outliers, can anyone translate those?

Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Illyrians/ Pelasgians, who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia ". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language. A study recently published in Science Magazine 2023 proves the antiquity of the Albanian language, which is much earlier than the Greek and Armenian languages > 8000 years old. Sanskrit, old Greek, and Latin languages are already dead. The Albanian Language is still alive and can decipher the symbols and all languages of the world.

The script that they keep showing (right to left first, then the line going down) according to Dr. Douglas Petrovich. "A curse of 100-fold has passed through our people. A swooping has befallen us. A multitude has surrounded us. My father was completely depleted by the King". The Word's Oldest Alphabet published by Carta Jerusalem. Dr. Douglas Petrovich is trained in the fields/disciplines of The Ancient Near East, Biblical Hebrew language/grammar, Western Semitics, lower textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible, Old Testament Studies, Old Testament Chronology, archaeology of the Levant, Egyptian language/grammar (Middle Egyptian/Late Egyptian), Egyptian texts, Egyptian archaeology, epigraphy, Ancient Near Eastern iconography and historical geography. Along with the character qualities of perfectionism, determination and Christian integrity enabled his after many years to provide a translation to this and 15 other inscriptions in and around Egypt and Canaan. He can demonstrate that Manasseh, Joseph's 2nd born son is responsible for giving us this proto-Hebrew consonantal script. Remember Ephraim and Manasseh, with a father that was the 2nd n command in Egypt, would have (so to speak) gone to the best Egyptian schools. They would have known Egyptian hieroglyphics. Dr. Douglas 2nd book, "The Origin of the Hebrews." is now in print, showing Joseph, Manasseh, Ephraim and very likely Jacob in writings and petroglyphs in Egypt.

[@Alec_Cox]

Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph's sons. Hebrews.. Made the hebrew alphabet while in Egypt, This is how Moses was able to write the copies of Genesis.. There was writing pre-flood, hence, the cuneiform writing of the Epoch of Gilgamesh written by Nimrod AKA Gilgamesh.. 😉

The Ten Commandments that Moses copied would have been written in Nemotic, the Egyptian written form of hieroglyphs. Hebrew, as such, was not a written language at this time. There is far too much evidence of several authors for the Torah for anyone to credibly believe Moses wrote it.

Succot = Day 9 of Exodus = 240 km from start at Goshen. This is where the Hebrew slave miners at Serabit el-Khadim join Moses and the Exodus. The Israelite masses travelled barefoot along the sandy shores of western costal plain of the Sinai peninsula to the southern tip of the peninsula. Crossing of Yam Yof to Arabia and on to Mt Sinai was at Tiran.

Barefoot? Maybe that's why their sandals didn't wear out. Deut. 29:5

[@mika2oo1]

@@501Mobius They were slaves. Most were barefoot.

[@Bimfirestarter]

@@mika2oo1 Remember, "the sons of Israel plundered the Egyptians" as they left Egypt, because the Egyptians were now so terrified of Yahweh that they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for ie garments of linen, gold, silver, etc. You can bet they had sandals, too. The Torah says that throughout the 40 years 'their sandals and garments didn't wear out' because of Yahweh's protection.

[@mika2oo1]

@@Bimfirestarter Children wouldn't wear sandals. Neither the women. Neither the Hebrew slaves that joined the Exodus from the copper mines in the Sinai. That leaves a minority of men. The sandals didn't wear out because they traveled on soft sand throughout, which again rules out a path inland the Sinai. Same logic applies regards Pharaoh's army. The chariots would not survive a path inland the Sinai at that speed. The only path such a mass of people and a mass of Chariots can maintain such speed is the one along the sandy shores of the western Sinai coast. The fact that most scholars ignore this obvious path and such obvious logic, should give us a good idea of how biased and mendacious their Satanic agenda is.

[@Bimfirestarter]

The problem with that is that the ancient turquoise mine of Serâbit El-Khādim is in the southern Sinai Peninsula. Egyptian inscriptions there identify the place as Biblical Dophkah, called Du-Mofka (means Mountain of Turquoise) in Egyptian. Shortly before is the traditional location of the Wilderness of Sin, where the scripture says Yahweh first gave them Manna - AFTER crossing the Sea. Shortly after Dophkah is Rephidim, where they battled the Amalekites, and maybe 2 days journey thereafter is Jebel Musa, the traditional location of Mount Sinai. The Sinaitic Inscription in the video speaks of Manna. Other inscriptions found are rebukes of "those that went astray unto Baalath" the cow goddess of Mining etc, Egyptian Hathor. Another mine nearby, a copper mine, has an inscription that says "Now unto the Assembly and unto Hobab is the majesty of a furnace." Hobab the Kenite was Moses' brother-in-law. The scripture says that when they were leaving Mt Sinai, Moses implored Hobab to stay with them as a guide. In the video, the Semites in the Beni Hassan tomb painting are described as metal-smiths, among other things. In the Serabit Egyptian inscriptions, Semitic Kenites appear to be mentioned, and 'Kenite' means 'Producer/Metal-smith'. It all makes sense, given the mining activity rampant in the Sinai deset. It also explains why Moses' Midianite in-laws frequented the Sinai desert! Much has been made by proponents of the Saudi Sinai/Aqaba Crossing theory refarding this - Why, if Midian was East of the Gulf of Aqaba, would Moses have been shepherding the flocks of Jethro in the Southern Sinai Peninsula? Well, here's the reason. And of course, the scripture that speaks of Sinai being a mountain in Arabia was written at a time when Arabia was reckoned as reaching even the Land of Goshen, which is literally called "Gesem of Arabia" more than once in the Septuagint which Jesus's Apostles and the writers of the New Testament consistently quoted from in the New Testament. So it's important to keep in mind the New Testament era's definition of Arabia, rather than our modern political one. The Saudis are a modern royal family, after all. You can't have the crossing site at Aqaba if Dophkah is Serābit El-Khādim, either, a site Israel came to After the Sea Crossing but Before reaching Mt Sinai. Another point. The Bible records multiple camping stages, sites between the Sea Crossing and Mt Sinai. From Aqaba to Jebel Al-Lawz is maybe a three-day journey, if the popular Nuweiba crossing is applied, nevermind Aqaba being entirely ruled out by this point with all these inscription finds in the Sinai.

[@kevinlee5753]

​@@fordprefect5304lol people have known about the Ur of the Chaldeans text for years. It's called updating the text. It happens not only in scripture but even in different versions. For example Acts 21:7 has Ptolemais in the Greek but the Aramaic version has Akka. Same place under 2 names for 2 different groups of people because the city was renamed. So it's nothing for someone like Ezra to have updated the text especially after the Babylonian captivity. Since you deal in facts here's one the Ketef Hinnom scrolls are dated around 600 BCE and contains passages from the Torah so unless you believe this is the first Torah it clearly copied from an even older text that obviously predated both the Babylonian captivity and when the Chaldeans took Ur.
