English letters originated from Latin letters, which originated from Greek letters, which evolved from Phoenician letters and were deeply influenced by ancient Egyptian holy books.
During the new kingdom of ancient Egypt, Phoenicia was ruled by Egypt for most of the time, and Phoenicians were deeply influenced by Egyptian culture. About13rd century BC, Phoenicians created the first alphabet in human history, with ***22 letters (no vowels). This is the great contribution of Phoenicians to human culture.
