12 types of alphabets used in medieval times

From the earliest times of humanity, the history of writing has always been the subject of much research by scholars from every corner of the planet. From what is already defined in several studies, the earliest traces of writing date from the late fourth millennium BC - the Mesopotamian cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphics in the Middle East.

The first consonant alphabet appeared around 2000 BC, representing the language of Semitic workers in Egypt - influenced by the alphabetic principles of Egyptian hieratic writing. Since then, all alphabets are their direct "children". Check out some of the most beautiful alphabets that have been used in past centuries:
