As man began to contemplate his existence and gather thoughts and ideas together, verbal communica琀on gave way to a wider
distribu琀on of these ideas with the crea琀on of the printed word, which at the onset was one shared common spoken language.
Eventually man 昀gured out that words could be represented symbolically through images and created ways to display symbols (as
decora琀ons or records of events and tallies of possessions) via drawing on walls of dwellings or on 昀a琀܀ened receptacles of this
imagery. Phoenician and Hebrew are historically known to be the oldest records of wri琀ng.
