We have thus traced back the forms of eighteen of the ancient letters to
the Maya alphabet. In some cases the pedigree, is so plain as to be
indisputable.
For instance, take the h:
Maya, ### ; old Greek, ### ; old Hebrew, ### ; Phoenician, ### .
Or take the letter o:
Maya, ### ; old Greek, ### ; old Hebrew, ### ; Phoenician, ### .
Or take the letter t:
Maya, ### ; old Greek, ### ; old Phoenician, ### and ### .
Or take the letter q:
Maya, ### ; old Phoenician, ### and ### ; Greek, ### .
Or take the letter k:
Maya, ### ; Egyptian, ### ; Ethiopian, ### ; Phoenician, ### .
Or take the letter n:
Maya, ### ; Egyptian, ### ; Pelasgian ### , Arcadian, ### ; Phoenician,
### .
Surely all this cannot be accident!

be seen that the Maya alphabet lacks the letter d and the letter r. The
Mexican alphabet possessed a d.
