Extract

During the quest of an ancient road located in the west part of the Nile in the Sahara, Egyptologists have discovered inscriptions that may have been examples of the earliest alphabet in the world. While they were studying ancient travel roads in the south-west part of Egypt during the 1994-95 field season of the Theban Desert Road Suvey, Dr. Darnell and his wife, Deborah, made this discovery at Wadi el-Hol. Their discovery was a key element in determining the period and the place of the origin of the alphabet.
