    @Volder Z my heart sank when I saw you deleted your videos on your Voynich reconstruction. Please reconsider. I know there are many false starts in such an effort, but your efforts - even if incorrect or outdated - are valuable. You had no agenda, and approached it as a linguist by internal reconstruction. If you aren't comfortable making them public, I'd still be effusively grateful if you made them unlisted or something and shared the link. I am very interested in this.

    I really find your detail and phonetic clarity on these ancient glyphs, really informative and insightful. I really look forward to part 2 and think you are offering extended value to this historical science of language. Great voice too!

    Nice all of these changes seem human. I am here because I want to loosen up my rigid ways of understanding the cultural origins of the things I am surrounded by, and the different ways it could have gone. I want to be able to explain their history by recalling it as if I somehow experienced their origins as if they were some of my personal stories. Where I tell only the things worthy of being told like pressure, dramatic events, the sudden, and the withstanding and not a kind of timelapse. Do you think this is a good motivation? Thanks for making this video, it is filling a definite void on UA-cam. The video is hard to follow and will take a while for me to process, but this is what I was looking for.

    How Greek letters are formed? Take thin paper, write normal Aramaic abcad (from right to left), then take this paper and turn other side - so you can see through paper your "Alif" now on the left, as soon as paper is thin, and what you wrote right to the left becomes kind of mirror image and written left to the right. your Aramaic letters become kind a like Greek. Thus shapes of Greek and Latin letters formed.

    Re: “we don’t have an Ancient Greek document where he says: I made two letters (X and K) out of one (K), but that is what seems to have happened”. Incorrect. The Greeks did not simply copy Phoenician and change a few letters, rather they used an entirely different Egyptian alphabet platform, namely the Heliopolis 28-letter alphabet. The 22-letter in Phoenician (+) is the same as chi (X), the 24th letter in Greek, both are the birth of the cosmos letters.

    Maybe you'll inspire me to write a 10,000 page treatise on the differences in Eldarin, Khudzul and Quenya versus Mannish languages. Or maybe Sindarin, Nandorin an Telerin.

    Haven't seen video about writing systems with IQ > IQ in abcd, you are first, İ am very glad.
    Phoenician alphabet is a myth, they say first Phoenician writing found in 2022, but it is also doubtful. Phoenician alphabet is Aramaic. Greek scholars had no debate about Homerian term "Aremboi" as Aram/Arabs,
    Strabo even included term Armenia, in Arab/Aram , stating that they Armenians, Arameans, Arabs live in 3 different clima in but have one language and their motherland is Mesopotamia, were they live now (Strabo's now)

    Well, a tour de force. Unfortunately my colour-blindness meant I couldn't always see what set of the letters you were referring to - sometimes the colours seemed to remain the same when you were talking about moving on to a different set from the yellow. When I tilted my screen I could see more differences.
