The so-called "Greek" alphabetic letters, excepting three later letters which do not appear in our alphabet, are seen, as admitted by the Early Greeks themselves, to be of non-Grecian origin and introduced by Phœnicians, now found to be Aryans in race. And these letters occur on an Ancient Briton monument in the inscriptions of Ancient Briton kings over five centuries before the earliest inscriptions found in Greece.
The so-called "Roman" letters also are found on this Ancient Briton monument several centuries before the traditional foundation of Rome, and several additional centuries before the date of any known Latin inscription; and are thus more British than Roman. The Romans added no letters to the Cadmean Phœnician alphabet except the redundant and ambiguous C, which they coined from the Cadmean G sign, and gave to it unscientifically the double phonetic values of K and S, from which latter soft value it has its modern English name of Si or Sī.
The Runic letters of the Goths, British Scandinavians and Anglo-Saxons, and used by Cadmon or Cædmon, uniquely preserve very numerous archaic features of their Sumerian parents, which indicate far remoter and more independent origin than the Greek or Roman letters from which they have been supposed to be derived. This significantly confirms the vastly remote antiquity of the great Gothic epics which the Runic writing enshrines, namely, "The Eddas." These Eddas, I find, are not mythological poems of Gothic "gods" as hitherto supposed, through their mutilated and perverted Teutonic "translations" and "paraphrases"; but are the genuine historical Gothic tradition, handed down in writing continuously through the ages on the rise of the Aryans, Sumerians or Goths under King Heria, Thor or Ar-Thur, and of their struggles and achievements in establishing the Higher Civilization in the Ancient World. They also preserve ancient Sumerian
