The story of how we got our alphabets BBC Web link ....

From intricate and beautiful Egyptian hieroglyphs, to wedge-shaped cuneiform imprints from ancient Mesopotamia - our ancestors developed many ways of recording their thoughts and information.

We might see them as primitive, but these early written languages were instrumental to shaping and forming the alphabets used across the world today.
