As crazy as it sounds, it’s now well attested that the letter “A” started out its evolution as the Egyptian hieroglyph for an ox. But its truly mind-blowing transformation came when turquoise miners in ancient Egypt adapted the hieroglyph, turning it into graffiti. This seemingly unimportant simplification actually spearheaded the creation of syllabic alphabets, such as the Latin alphabet, used all over the world today.
The D or Greek delta was originally a triangle meant to symbolize the delta of the Nile River.
The M was originally a symbol for water.
🤔Auroch starts with an “A”
Wow, culture and western alphabet, etcetera, isn't there anything the Ancient Egyptians have not influenced. Amazing story.......
