F Egyptiаn scribes hаd tо mаster hundreds оf symbоls. I asked Goren if alphabetic writing must have seemed attractive to those scribes. “Probably not,” he says. “About 30 of the symbols in Egyptian hieroglyphs represent single sounds, just like the alphabet. They knew about using symbols to represent sounds. To the Egyptians, the Semitic writing may have looked too primitive to be significant.” G Goren warned me against seeing an alphabet as “superior” to pictographic writing. “If you came from outer space and wrote a report, you’d give the alphabet high marks,” he says. “It’s flexible and easy to learn. But what actual effect did that have? There was no mass (public) literacy until after the development of the printing press in the mid-15th century.” Which collocation in Paragraph G is a synonym for “Egyptian hieroglyphs”?
