DUATE IS ESTABLI'SHEE
FOR ALPHABET ORIQI~
llman, Chicago Archaeologist, ~
2,000 B. C. As Time Of First Use
Of Series Of Signs
USED BY EARLY SEMITES
INIJICAGO, Ill. Feb. 24.- After manj
years of research, Dr. B. L. Ullman,
University of Chicago archaeologist,
has set the date of the origin of the
alphabet at about 2,000 B. C. This is
a much earlier date than that which
has ben set for its origination by other
'~great scholars. His decaration of the
very early be~ inning of the alphabet
was made recntly at a meeting -of ar-
chaeologists at Cambridge.
An alphabet consisting of 22 signs
representing different consonants in
words is believed by Dr. Ullman to
have been in use by the early Semifls
in old Egypt. Archaeologists believe
that the crude Semitic writings found
in 1905 at Sinai date back to 1,500 B.
C., and that the signs found three
years ago at Byblos, Syria, are almost
as old, but are considerably less crude.
He believes that the Greeks derived
their alphabet from the Phoenicians
before the Trojan war and bepre the
Homeric poems were composed. This
brings the origin of the Greek alpha-
S bet sometime before the eleventh cen-'
tury B. C. The fact that papyrus waa
introduced into Greece during the
twelfth century B. C. is proof that an
alphabet, was in existence before that
time ,according to Dr. Ullman.4-le alsq
maintains that the tradition that Cad.
inus introduced the alphabet into
Greece in 1313 B. C. is not entirely
fiction.ii
