Is Hebrew the world's first alphabet? Israelites in Egypt may have turned hieroglyphs into letters 3,800 years ago Dr Douglas Petrovich looked at 16 Hebrew letters from Egyptian tablets He combined earlier identifications of some letters in the ancient alphabet with his own interpretation of disputed letters create the 'Hebrew 1.0' script He found names of three biblical figures - Asenath, Ahisamach and Moses But the theory is controversial as some historians dispute the Israelites' presence in Egypt, and others suggest the biblical dates used are unreliable. The language of the world's first alphabet could have been Hebrew. This is according to an archaeologist who has spent the past four years piecing together the letters of the alphabet from inscriptions on Egyptian tablets.
