History says that the immediate ancestor of the Roman alphabet is the elementary commercial marking system of Phoenician traders, adopted and modified by the Greeks, further modified by the Etruscans, the Romans and later peoples all over the world. The ultimate ancestor is the hieratic writing of Egypt, from which some of the Phoenician symbols derive.
Greek Myth says that Hermes designed the letters based on the flight of cranes in Egypt, and Cadmus brought them to Greece.
