Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Sesamo m. <sesamox AT hotmail.com>]

I'm not sure if this question fits in this list, but I think so.
I've been reading about the origin of writing and I wonder why ancient 
languages such as Hebrew were written from right to left. 
The first supports for writing were clay tablets, and if they wrote from 
right to left they could ruin with the hand what they had just written, if 
you know what I mean. Actually, the same problem could happen with ink.
I've read the theory that those eastern peoples originally wrote with their 
left hand, but I find that theory illogical. Do any of you know of a possible 
reason?
 
Thanks in advance.
