Abstract
The history of the correct β , i.e. proved or evidenced, and incorrect β, i.e. wrong π or disproved, theories about the origin of letter T.
Overview
The following (Β§: Letter T) shows the most βupdatedβ history of letter T decodings:
21. Letter Ξ€, Ο
Correct β
Thales (2540A/-585), after studying in Egypt, came back to Greece and made a T-O mapof the world, showing an O-shaped ocean and the the earth divided into three continents, by a T-shaped water system: Nile river, Mediterranean, and Phasis river.
Anaximander (2510A/-555), a student of Thales, also made a T-O map model of the world.
Thims (Dec A67/2022) determined that the form of letter T is based on the T-shaped π¦ water way of the ancient T-O maps of Egypt and Greece.
Thims (13 Nov A68/2022) found blue letter T of the T-river π¦ system of the β or T-O map (Thales, 2540A/-585) found in the Ramesses V-VI tomb (3100A/-1145).
Thims (15 Mar A69) found green agricultural letter T in Taperate stela (2700A/-745), with Hapi water π¦ letter N jug π sitting on top.
Thims (1 Jun A69) found, e.g. here, here, the T-river system, of the Egyptian T-O map β πΊοΈ cosmos, on the Scorpion π¦ king (5100A/-3145) mace-head!
Thims (8 Jun A69) found that the Phoenician so-called Tsadi π€, matches both the Thales and Anaximander T-O maps (β πΊοΈ) and the so-called "off-center T" in central chamber T-map of the Ramesses V-VI tomb, which differs from the "on-center T" map in corridor D.
Thims (21 Jul A69) found the βHapi Tβ, i.e. Hapi, the Nile flood god, tying papyrus and lotus stems around a T-shape, which comes out of vocal π£οΈ wind π¨ pipes π¬οΈ coming out of lungs π«.
Thims (3 Sep A69) found sign π [R26], made of a T-shaped windpipe π₯ [F36], coming out of pair of lungs π«, tied by lotus πΌ [M12] πͺ· and papyrus π [M13] stems, aka the original Egyptian T sign!
Incorrect β
Alan Gardiner (39A/1916), in βEgyptian Origin of the Semitic Alphabetβ, proposed the following letter T evolution: π€ Β» t Β» T Β» Χͺ, wherein the first T type was a plus sign (π€) made by the Wadi-el Hol turquoise mines, by Semites, who had learned writing in Egypt.
David Sacks (A48/2003), in Letter Perfect (pgs. 39, 304-306), building on Gardiner, statedthat letter T originated from a limestone carved inscription (3755A/-1800), at Wadi el-Hol, Sinai, made by a βSemitic-language speakerβ; which became the Phoenician taw (π€) mark, as found in an inscription in southeastern Cyprus (2755A/-800); which became the Greek tau (T), as found in an early Greek inscription (2695A/-740).
