New Research Reveals:

At Least 4000 Year Old Pictographic Script Sheds Surprising New Light on the Bible

Proto-Semitic is a reconstruction of the language spoken in the area of the Biblical patriarch Sem (Shem), in the third millennium before Christ. Proto-West-Semitic is the later western branch of it, known of the beginning of the second millennium before Christ (about the time of Abraham). From this, the Phoenician, Aramaic, Arabic and (Paleo-)Hebrew emerged.
Extensive research has revealed that the accompanying old Semitic script used in that area and era - basis of almost all alphabets in the world - was in origin a unique kind of pictorial script.
Each letter depicted an object that represented a certain notion, while its sound was also naturally associated to this object or notion. For the first time in many centuries these objects and notions have been identified and described.
The result is a great insight into the etymology of many old Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic words and names.
This reveals links within the Bible that were not visible so far. Original meanings of relatively unknown words are clearly identified now.
