The Egyptians did not have an alphabet - their writing system was much more complex than that. The first alphabet was developed in the Sinai region around 1500 BC, using signs resembling some Egyptian hieroglyphs, but with different sound values.

Proto-Canaanite script followed, then Ugaritic, Phoenician, many different Greek scripts, Ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, Nabatean, Punic and many other alphabets.

The final stages were modern European (Roman), Modern Arabic, Modern Hebrew and Modern Amharic.
