7000 BCE would be Jericho or Çatal Hüyük. I haven't
heard of any writing found at those ultra-ancient
sites. If there is any, I'd sure like to hear about
it!!!
Also. ISTR that Aleph was originally a symbol for
"oxen". I think that the Phoenician alphabet was
developed from Egyptian Demotic of ~ 1600 BCE. Can
anyone add more light?
