They too borrowed ideas' from the other nations, chiefly from the Phoenicians, and formed an alphabet of their, own greatly improved over - all others then in use, by adding the vowel soundsgg - g all other alphabets hitherto, having used the con- sonants only. So nzuch more perfect was' the -' Greek alphabet than all others- preceding' that .Q A scholars all over the world beganiits study and. - use, even Hebrew writers using it in writing por- tions of the scriptures, and its use became general K among nations of western Europe. s J e ' To the north of the Great Sea and to the ' ' west of the.Greehs dwelt the RomansQ Miglzty g ' ' men of warwerethey and their armies went forth against thosefof all other nationsg In-the time of our 'Lord ,they made warlupongthe Egyptians and -found the newly conquered country full of strange lpicturesg which seemingly 'had to do with fits former history, though none of the Ronzanscholars, could decipherthenz. These early people had learned how to preserve speech for the benefit-of their descendants ,that 'these descendants might profit by knowledge of .theirmistakes and accomplishments of the t past. In the absence of fi hey it was a sealed 'boohi Egypt was a store house filled withdocurnents which no man living could decipher and so were of no usef ' Seventeen centuries more passed away and Egypt still remained a land offmystery. ' Finally from the land of the Franks'-came Bonaparte, the greatjleader of the' French armiesy to make war upon the Egyptians. . Though his el-cpedition was a failure from a military standpoint, it resulted in unravelling the mysteries of, early Egyptian ihistory, for the hey was found. V s . . - f ' Y .

And today we possess a record which covers forty 'centuries of history. ' ' Y Now it was found that the Egyptian writings were of three systemsg and some inscriptions were called de1notic,eand they were used for common and trading purposes f and 'some were called hieroglyph- ics and they were used on rnonnments and public huildingsg and the others' which were sacred to the priests were called hieraticp And the systems all consisted originally of figures such as houses, fea- tures, and farms. fl nd these figures were scratched on temple walls and papyrig. It has always been the belief that the Egyptian system was asign language: it was now discovered to be a sound language. fl nd it was. learned that years man 'The Story of Mankind by Hendrick Van Loon.
