What languages were spoken in ancient Egypt, Babylon and India?
1, hieroglyphic
Hieroglyphs have a great influence on Phoenician letters, while Greek letters are created on the basis of Phoenician letters.
1987, the German archaeological team discovered the tomb of former ruler U-j in Abidos (named Umm el-Qa'ab), recovered hundreds of bone fragments, and discovered Egyptian hieroglyphics in full scale. The age of this tomb is 3 150 BC.
2. Cuneiform characters
A stone tablet engraved with picture symbols and straight line symbols was found in Ohe Milciu, near Kish, which is the earliest writing found so far in the two river basins-cuneiform writing.
Wedge characters, also known as "nail arrow characters", are carved on stones or clay tablets, recorded in pictures with clay tablets and evolved into ideographic symbols.
Write on the clay tablet with a triangular pen made of wooden sticks. Each stroke is always from coarse to fine, like a wedge, hence the name cuneiform.
Step 3 Sanskrit
Sanskrit and Phoenician writing (the embryonic form of modern European writing) belong to Semitic writing system. Around 700 BC, Indian businessmen contacted people in Mesopotamia (a branch of Semitic people) and sent 22 letters from Semitic people to India.
After finishing by Indians, about 400 BC, about 40 letters were produced, that is, Brahman handwriting.
Sanskrit is not strictly Sanskrit, but a proverb, but it is indeed the first written evidence of Sanskrit and the origin of most Indian languages.
Extended data:
The earliest birthplace of writing is the four ancient civilizations.
The four ancient civilizations actually correspond to the birthplaces of the world's four major civilizations, namely, the two river basins (Mesopotamia), the Nile basin, the Indus-Ganges basin and the Yellow River-Yangtze river basin. The first four large-scale human civilizations were born, but the later Aegean civilization was not included.
The significance of these ancient civilizations lies not in the chronological order, but in that they are the cradles of different modern civilizations, which can also be said to be a creative point.
Scholars believe that the ancient civilization was built near the river platform because there was a fixed water source, which made it easier to develop agriculture and commerce. However, historians believe that at the beginning of ancient civilization, they first occurred in mountainous areas and then extended to rivers.
