...I am not an expert on this, but the following quote is from a popular book, The Alphabet, by David Sacks, p.37:
Looks are subjective, but the objective historical evidence proves that
you are almost certainly wrong.
Would you please point out that evidence at least broadly? Wadi el-Hol shows
very limited resemblance to hieroglyphs, and that semblance could result
from assimilation of style, couldn't it?
It did. Masoretic vowel marks, Arabic diacritics.Which are not used by most modern writers of Hebrew or Arabic script.
They are fluent, sophisticated readers. I'd like to point again that
ancients are more like students in their reading skills ...
