Phoenician Alphabet
Although the Phoenicians used cuneiform (Mesopotamian writing)
in what we call Ugaritic, they also produced a script of their own.
The Phoenician alphabetic script of 22
letters was used at Byblos as early as the 15th century B.C.

The Phoenician script is an important "trunk" in the alphabet tree,
in that many modern scripts can be traced through it.
