The origin and development of the alphabet from hieroglyphs and symbols to letters.
The First Alphabet - Episode 1 · 51 min We visit Egypt How do you interpret different combinations of characters and how did you nuance an image? In China we see how calligraphy developed into its own art form. In Australia imagerylives on and is interpreted by our own time. The development of Arabic calligraphy as well as other cultures are also interpreted. But how is it? Do our modern written languages have a single common origin?
A beautiful program that clearly shows how our alphabet developed - like all other alphabets that exist today. It can also be pointed out - in the name of justice - that the Mayan civilization in America but it is not used today and has no followers today. The program is in English with Swedish subtitles The program - part 1 - is available on UR Play at the link: https://urplay.se/serie/220824-bokstav-symbol-och-hieroglyf Production year 2020 - available until 31 July 2023 In addition, there is part 2 about Letters, symbols and alphabet on: https://urplay.se/program/220821-bokstav-symbol-och-hieroglyf-hur-skriften-forandrade-varlden How Scripture Changed the World - Episode 2 - 51 Minutes We follow the continued development of written language in the world. Different cultures meet and their written language is analyzed: how have they developed locally and what influences are there from other written languages? In Samarkand Arabic book printed with "loose types". We see how hand- written illustrated books have been preserved and are now considered works of art. In addition, we will see how it is possible to make writing sheets from processed animal skins (Parchment). It is interesting to note that cheap (relatively) scrolls of papyrus in the Roman Empire were replaced by expensive parchment books when the information technology of the Roman Empire was replaced by the medieval and how it caused the decay of civilization. Part 2 is really about the printing press and its impact on civilization. Imagine that there would be a two-part program series about the two - in my opinion - most revolutionary historical inventions I learned to know. Now I was lucky!
