The Aryan Origin of the Alphabet

The Aryan Origin of the Alphabet is a book written by L. Austine Waddell that explores the historical roots of the alphabet. The book argues that the alphabet has its origins in the ancient Sumerian and Phoenician cultures, which were influenced by the Aryan peoples. Waddell traces the development of the alphabet from its earliest forms to the modern system of letters that we use today. The book provides detailed analysis of the linguistic and cultural connections between the ancient civilizations and the modern alphabet. It also includes illustrations and examples of early writing systems and their evolution over time. The Aryan Origin of the Alphabet is a comprehensive study of the history of the alphabet and its place in human civilization.1927.
