The "EVOLUTION" Of the Letter "A"

Dated 1,800 BC from the Sinai Peninsula in #Egypt, this small sphinx in #MakingYourMark bears one of the earliest examples of what later became the Roman alphabet. Did you know that our letter 'A' evolved from the symbol of the ox's head such as the one on this sphinx? pic.twitter.com/SPBNVvAEUf
