The origins of the alphabet have long been a subject of scholarly debate, with two
principal contenders: the Phoenicians and the Greeks. The prevailing consensus holds
that the Phoenicians provided a consonantal script that the Greeks adapted and
expanded with vowels. However, a re-examination of numerical, phonetic, and
cosmological evidence—particularly the correlation between the one-digit sums of the
letter-values of the Greek names of the seven celestial bodies with their rank/order from
the sun being first (1st)—suggests that the Greek alphabet represents an indigenous
system of symbolic and phonetic coherence rather than a mere adaptation. The study
argues that the Greek alphabet reflects an autonomous development grounded in earlier
Minoan 25 alphabetiform symbols (Fig. 1) and Linear B vowels (Fig. 5) and the
individualization of the Linear B syllabes into consonants + vowels, (Fig. 7)
