WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -The English alphabet evolved from the Latin, Roman, Greek and ultimately the Phoenician alphabets. The letter “O” has not changed since it was adopted into the Phoenician alphabet in 1300 B.C. Phoenician writing was read from right to left like Hebrew and Arab, but the opposite direction of English.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first signs of the Phoenician alphabet found at Byblos are clearly derived from Egyptian hieroglyphics, and not from cuneiform. The 22 Phoenician letters are simplifications of Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols, which took on a standardized form at the end of the 12th century BCE.
