Should we be thanking the Phoenicians ?

The huge geosphere of the Spaceship Earth ball hovers a staggering 180 feet above the park.

Once you are seated on the ride , you are taken on a slow-moving, sixteen minute narrated journey into the past.

As you slowly glide past the amazing audio-animatronics scenes, you’ll notice that each scene depicts a very important time in our history .

You begin your journey with the caveman era and the invention of fire.

You will then witness papyrus (the first paper) being invented by an unknown Egyptian.

The alphabet is then invented by none other than the Phoenicians, hence the name of this post , “If you can read this, Thank the Phoenicians” !

So did the Phoenicians really invent an alphabet at all ? Some Historians say yes, but others will disagree .

What we do know is that the Phoenicians, who traded with civilizations all around the Mediterranean & beyond, were a big key to spreading the use of a common alphabet around the entire globe.
