Why are the vowels on the bottom or the top in the Hebrew language?

Hebrew writing dates back at least 3600 years, but it was only written with consonants; the vowel marks were only invented 1000 years ago. Since they couldn't change the spelling of Hebrew words (Hebrew is considered holy), placing dots above and below the letters was the most practical way to do it.
