Damascus (ST)-The Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums denied that the discovery circulated by local and international media in the Tell Umm al-Mara area east of Aleppo is an “alphabet”.

The Directorate confirmed in a statement, a copy of which was received by SANA, that this discovery is merely a hypothesis published by an archaeologist who worked with an American mission at the aforementioned site in his book in 2010, and was recently re-circulated without the existence of recent excavations at the aforementioned site.

The Director General of the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums, Mohammad Nazir Awad, confirmed in a statement to SANA that such studies need a long time to prove them and that what was published is inaccurate.

Local and international media recently circulated news that a team of excavators found finger-length clay cylinders engraved with an alphabetic inscription, about 500 years older than the previously discovered texts.
