About this clipart
The image presents a systematic comparison of phonetic values across four writing systems: Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, Phoenician, and their later alphabetic descendants (Greek, Roman, and Hebrew). Each row maps a sound (e.g., /a/, /b/, /k/) to its corresponding symbol in each script, illustrating the gradual abstraction from pictorial forms to linear letters. Notable transitions include the simplification of the eagle glyph (?) into the Phoenician ʾālep and eventually the Greek Alpha (Α).
Used in educational, linguistic, or museum web pages explaining the history of writing systems; targets users researching paleography, ancient languages, or the origins of the alphabet.
