Ancient Alphabets 101 Lesson Manual

This manual is based on the research, discoveries, and theories of the origins of the alphabet by Travis Wayne Goodsell. Paleo-Hebrew, also called Phoenician, is theorized by Travis to be the oldest alphabetic script. Paleo means “old”. All other alphabets are likewise theorized to have been patterned after Paleo-Hebrew. This manual goes over the alphabets of Paleo-Hebrew, Paleo-Greek, Hebrew, and Greek. Travis also theorizes that Paleo-Hebrew is different from Hebrew, but comparable to Paleo-Greek. His main theory is that the language was intended as a picture language. The pictures were derived from Egyptian pictures called Hieroglyphs and were turned into their cursive form called Egyptian Hieratic script. It is Hebrew that Travis theorizes was influenced by the Assyrian language and thus corresponds to the “Acronym” theory.
