Truth seeker with passion for history of the homeland Syria, where myth, conspiracy, facts are mixed and make huge subject for mystification and hidden truth.

Languages are developing with us over the years, as it takes time for a newborn child to learn how to speak and later we start teaching him how to write. Thus, people started drawing pictures on the walls of the stone caves to leave a trace of their existence. As a result in ancient Syria appeared the first writing system — cuneiform. It turned out those Syrian sailors (Phoenicians) who expanded their trading roots beyond the known world, introduced the new, developed writing system and presented us with the precious gift and the most important invention — the Alphabet.

After creators of the Alphabet came in contact with other nations many Syrian words were adopted in other languages. These words changed over the years.

In the theater we heard the word "Dithyramb",

Every day we travel, we stuck in "Traffic",

What dose these words mean? Where did it come from?

In this upcoming lecture, I’ll explain you some of these words and reveal the hidden treasure left by our ancestors.

Please join us on Monday, 29 March at 7p.m. to know more about culture and language of ancient Syria. (in English). Lecture will be held in mix format – online / offline.
