Uncovering Ancient Language Origins Through Shared Symbols
The podcast delves into the Phoenicians, a naval empire known for their focus on international trade and commerce 3000 years ago, who not only transacted goods but left a lasting legacy in language. They used the word aleph for bull, represented by a simple symbol resembling a rounded nose with horns, which later influenced the Greeks to adapt it as alpha, eventually evolving into the modern letter A.
