I am sorry anonymous person on the internet. I have no idea what you know or do not know.

I am perplexed by the notion that time does not play a role for you when talking about the "history" of something.

Just like the fact the Phoenecian alphabet was modified by the Greeks, there would have definitely been transfer of knowledge.

You are just impossible to talk to. Why are you still posting random gotchas at me?

I have no intention to argue with either of you, but from an outside perspective, it's you who is very hard to discuss with.

I don't understand what's wrong with rusticpenn original post and I don't think they argue in bad faith. Maybe you are right, but because of all the personal attacks you make, it's hard to see your point, and you also come of as very rude. I don't write this to criticize you - I'm just saying that if you change the way you argue, you will probably convince many more people to your ideas. Constructive discussion is, in general, a very useful skill in life.
