We are often told that the Phoenicians invented the alphabet. Regardless of who put pen to papyrus to create it, the Phoenician contribution was none-the-less major and critical.

When the Phoenicians began using the alphabet as a simple and easy way to keep track of their trades, it was exposed to everyone.
