World's Oldest Alphabet Discovered In Syria, Dating Back 4,000 Years | WION Podcast

The world’s oldest known alphabet, found on ancient clay cylinders in Syria, dating back to around 2400 BC. Archaeologists, led by Glenn Schwartz from Johns Hopkins University, uncovered this alphabetic writing during the excavation of a tomb. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about the origins of the alphabet, suggesting it may have emerged earlier and in a different region than previously thought. This form of writing, accessible beyond the elite, revolutionized communication and thought. #alphabet #science #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
